To further serve healthcare professionals and high need New Yorkers, NYC Healthcare Heroes is also donating an additional $300,000 worth of food and supplies to local food pantries that partner with NYC Health + Hospitals.

The NYC Healthcare Heroes program was launched with a $10 million donation by the Debra and Leon Black Family and a commitment to match up to $10 million in donations to expand the impact of the program. Through the generous contributions of over 700 donors, the program doubled in size to become a $20 million effort and provided well-deserved encouragement and thanks for the tremendous efforts of critical healthcare professionals. Initially aimed at serving over 100,000 healthcare professionals across the five boroughs, the program expanded in May to include more than 5,000 EMS and disaster services workers, helping alleviate the burden of having to shop for themselves and their families.

Our city is forever indebted to our healthcare heroes for the tireless work and painful sacrifices they have made over the past few months, said Debra and Leon Black. Like all New Yorkers, our family has been humbled and inspired by their courage and resilience, and it has been an honor to support their heroic efforts through NYC Healthcare Heroes. We hope that the boxes of shelf-stable food, household cleaning and personal care products, as well as the bags of fresh fruit, brought our heroes comfort and alleviated the burden of having to grocery shop for themselves and their families.

Aramark is proud to have joined the Black Family to launch NYC Healthcare Heroes in support of the heroic efforts of healthcare workers, said John Zillmer, Chief Executive Officer of Aramark. We appreciated the opportunity to build relationships with our program partners, including Robin Hood, the Red Cross and the Mayors Fund, all of which helped make NYC Healthcare Heroes a success. In our efforts, we are hopeful we were able to bring smiles to the faces of heroes who continue to make countless sacrifices on the front lines for the benefit of New York City.

The NYC Healthcare Heroes initiative has provided a critical service for the frontline healthcare professionals who continue to serve in unprecedented circumstances, said Wes Moore, Chief Executive Officer of Robin Hood. We along with our partners will continue to support New Yorkers impacted by this crisis, and we are proud that even as the program comes to a close, it will continue to give back by donating extra resources to local food pantries to meet the needs of vulnerable communities.

The American Red Cross has been honored to join with the Black Family, Aramark and our other partners in supporting New York Citys healthcare heroes during these extremely challenging times, said Gail McGovern, President and Chief Executive Officer of the American Red Cross. Our volunteers have shared countless touching, inspiring and uplifting stories from their experiences, and the Red Cross is grateful to have participated in this impactful initiative.

The COVID-19 pandemic has confronted New Yorkers with one of the most challenging periods this city has seen, but thanks to the Black Family, the American Red Cross, Aramark and Robin Hood, our community has weathered this storm together so far," said Toya Williford, Executive Director of the Mayors Fund to Advance New York City.

Kerala Crash: A pregnant woman missed the flight because she didn’t have a fit-to-fly certificate. But what is it and why do you need one? – Gulf News

The documents pregnant women need to fly, plus other tips for air travel when pregnant

Dubai-based Ijaz Ummar and his seven-month-pregnant wife Jasleena were left stunned at their narrow escape, for she was slated to be on the Air India Express flight that crashed at Kozhikode on Friday evening, leaving at least 18 passengers and crew members dead.

Ummar said he was in the office when Jasleena called him to say that she needed a fitness certificate to board the flight. "There was a delay in getting that since it was a Friday and, despite our efforts, it could not be obtained," he said.

Consequently, Jasleena's trip was postponed and the couple did not think any more about it until they began receiving frantic calls from their relatives in their hometown of Kozhikode in the evening.

"Everyone was asking if she was on the flight. We had failed to inform relatives that her trip was postponed," Ummar said.

Jasleena said both of them are still in shock after watching the news of the crash on TV.

"We feel sad seeing all the visuals. While we are thanking God, we are also praying for all those who are suffering. We do not know what to say and how to express our feelings," she said.

In the wake of the accident, there are still many questions as the community reels from this tragedy. Jasleena and Ummar can only count their blessings at the narrow escape, which potentially saved Jasleena and their unborn baby - their first child, which they are expecting after five years of trying.

But what is the fitness certificate that may have inadvertently saved Jasleena and why do pregnant women need one?

Different airlines have different timelines but, generally speaking, if you are travelling at any point around your third trimester (from 28 weeks onwards) you will be required to show a fit-to-fly certificate to your airline before being allowed to board the plane.

This is a medical certificate or letter written on a clinic or hospital letterhead paper and / or stamped and signed by your obstetrician that mentions:

A Fit to Fly certificate during pregnancy is a certificate for the treating doctor to state that the patient is fit to travel and has no risk factors that may affect her and her foetus during the travel, says Dr. Sonia Chaudhary, Specialist obstetrics & gynaecology, Medcare Women & Children Hospital. This is a requirement from the airlines for expectant mothers.

If you have any heightened risk factors, such as being pregnant with multiples or gestational diabetes, it may be harder to obtain one and you may need to have a more thorough check from your doctor before they can sign it.

If the expectant mother has any condition like a history of bleeding, history of preterm delivery, high blood pressure, or sickle cell disease then its especially important that she is checked to ensure she is medically fit to fly, says Dr Chaudhary. These conditions put the mother and the foetus at risk due to the air pressure change in the plane, hence for the safety of the mother and the foetus it is always advised to be checked over first in order to get a certificate to travel.

In order to get your certificate you have to visit your doctor, says Dr Chaudhary. Your doctor will examine you and review your antenatal record. After examining if there are no complicating factors the doctor will issue this certificate. However you need to ensure that you time your medical visit right: The certificate is valid only for 48 hours. The best time to travel for expectant mothers is between 14th week and the 28th week of pregnancy.

During the time of COVID-19 pregnant women may be less eager to fly anywhere, although Dr Chadhary says that it is still relatively straight forward to get the fit-to-fly certificate if you do need to travel: During the pandemic if it is necessary to travel, to get a certificate is not as challenging provided the patient is completely aware about all the safety measures and precautions that she has to take. The patient should also be aware about all details with regards to the quarantine period at her destination.

You may not be accepted on your flight if you travel without one, especially if you are visibly pregnant (although most airlines do not require documentation if you are 27 weeks pregnant or less).

According to Skyscanner, some of the UAEs most popular airlines have the following policies for pregnant women:

Etihad Airways allow women to travel during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy without a medical certificate.

At Emirates Airlines, traveling after the 36th week is not allowed, unless with special permission from the Medical Department of the airlines.

Air Arabia allows travel until 35 weeks, if the expectant woman provides a medical certificate indicating the number of weeks of her pregnancy.

Flydubai allows normal travel of expectant mothers until the end of 28 weeks. Travelling after 28 weeks is not allowed, unless with an official medical report sufficient to Flydubai.

Pregnant women are potentially at a higher risk of more severe forms of COVID-19, so ensure that you are following all of the usual precautions to the letter. This means wearing your mask at all times (including and especially in the restroom), washing your hands with soap and water or sanitizing gel frequently, and being careful not to touch your face. When you sit down, immediately sanitise everything that you are likely to touch..twice (i.e. TV screen, handsets, tray stable, arm rest, overhead cabin crew call buttons). Everything you can! says Dr Richard Jones, Family Medicine doctor at Mediclinic. This is probably where people pick up most coughs and colds. Other advice includes directing the air vent over yourself to create a cone of protection against any airborned germs, as well as keeping nasal passages moisturized (through saline sprays and keeping hydrated) to help them combat any infection. Some people even recommend dabbing petroleum jelly on your nostrils to keep your nose moisturized and prevent infection.

No matter the flight length, its good to get up from your seat for a bit as there is an increased risk of getting blood clots during pregnancy. Every half hour during the flight stand up and walk, or flex and extend your legs to prevent swelling of the feet and to improve blood circulation. But be sure to, Wear shoes to the toilet or if you are walking around the cabin, warns Dr Richard Jones. The carpets are full of germs.

Ask your OB/GYN or midwife about elastic compression socks for your flight. When pregnant, slower circulation increases the chance of blood clots and these will help. However it is important that they fit you properly or they can restrict blood flow even more, so its best to buy a pair with the advice of your doctor.

If you can afford the luxury of flying in business class or premium economy then do it. If not, try to select an extra-legroom seat before your flight. You could even just ask the flight staff if they can make some accommodations for you. If a seat with extra legroom is unavailable, the second best option would be to get an aisle seat.

Its important to drink lots of water when pregnant and youre much more likely to get dehydrated when travelling on planes. Firstly, stay hydrated while waiting to get on the plane, then buy a large bottle of water to take on the flight with you so youre not at the mercy of the airline's food and beverage service.

When you arrive at the airport, staff and airline personnel are available to assist you at every stage of your journey, so ask for help. Alert your airline if you need assistance with your luggage when boarding or when travelling to your flight.
