Abdul Nisaf Chalakkunnu Aboobaker, a 36-year-old father of four from Kasaragod, Kerala, India, triumphs over adversity as he flies back home from Dubai, carrying with him a newfound sense of recovery after a life-altering accident, Gulf News reported.

In November 2023, Aboobaker’s life took a drastic turn when a car crashed into the cafeteria where he was enjoying tea with friends. The impact resulted in the loss of a section of his skull, leaving him with a traumatic brain injury and significant memory loss.

Undeterred, Aboobaker, who had traveled to Dubai in search of job opportunities as a sales executive just a month before the incident, underwent a complex life-saving surgery and subsequent treatment in the emirate. Social workers in the UAE played a crucial role in facilitating his recovery, enabling him to regain both his physical and cognitive abilities.

The accident not only left Aboobaker with a partial memory loss but also inflicted multiple closed fractures in his skull, necessitating immediate medical attention. Rushed to Rashid Hospital, he underwent open head surgery and received post-operative care before being transferred to the New Medical Centre for further treatment.

After two months of intense rehabilitation and medical care, Aboobaker, displaying remarkable resilience, returned to India on January 12, 2024. In Mangalore City, Karnataka, on the west coast of India, he underwent a cranioplasty to restore the missing section of his skull.
