The broadcaster Amr Adib revealed that his brother, broadcaster Imad Eldin Adib, suffered a health crisis that caused his heart to stop for a full minute while participating in a conference in the UAE. He noted that the famous Egyptian doctor Bassim Youssef intervened with first aid to save his life. Amr stated, "Imad Adib participated in the Arab Strategic Forum in Dubai, and during a session, he asked a question saying that he might face a heart attack if he did not know the answer." He added, "After this statement, my brother experienced a near heart attack."
Just minutes after the session ended, Imad Eldin Adib was conversing with the comedian Bassim Youssef, who noticed signs of a heart attack as he was sweating profusely. Being a doctor and a former heart surgeon, Bassim requested that he be taken to the hospital immediately, which was done within minutes.
Amr Adib explained that an ambulance equipped for emergencies was present at the forum, and Imad was transported to Rashid Hospital in Dubai within seven minutes. He continued, stating that the hospital director personally resuscitated Imad Eldin Adib, indicating that an artery was 100% blocked.
Amr Adib expressed gratitude to the Egyptian friends who were present to save his brother, including Dr. Bassim Youssef, emphasizing that the famous star is originally a doctor who immediately assisted his brother with first aid and recommended his transfer to the ambulance.
Amr also noted that Bassim Youssef was with Imad Eldin Adib in the ambulance, reassuring him at every moment. He stated, "My relationship with Bassim is not good, but I hold him in high regard for what he did; his bravery and heroism are priceless."
Amr Adib also mentioned the personal interest of Dubai's ruler, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, in Imad Eldin Adib's health condition and thanked both Minister Anwar Gargash and Minister Mohammed Qarkawi, who ensure daily updates on the esteemed broadcaster's status as he continues to lie in the hospital after undergoing a stent placement procedure.
