A teenager who felt “helpless” as she overheard her family’s frantic cries on the phone as her grandmother suffered a cardiac arrest says she is now determined to help save lives as a volunteer with St John Ambulance.
While studying for her school exams last year, Zehra Azim, 19, was with her mother, architect Sakina Naqvi, 44, when they received a devastating call that her grandmother, Syeda Sultana Naqvi, 72, had gone into cardiac arrest.
