Several nurses and doctors were present on the flight and they assisted Mounga with the birth.

Lani Bamfield, a nurse, wrote in a Facebook post: "If anyone would like to know how our trip to Hawaii is going… here's how it started. We delivered a 26-27 weeker in the airplane bathroom, in the middle of the ocean, with three NICU nurses, a Physicians assistant, and a family medicine doctor we were able to make it THREE HOURS before we could finally land but the baby and mom did great. God was definitely with us up there."
