Kin upset, Eman may be shifted to Abu Dhabi
MUMBAI: Egyptian woman Eman Ahmed, who was once the world’s heaviest woman, may be shifted from Mumbai to Abu Dhabi.
On Wednesday, doctors from VPS Healthcare in Abu Dhabi discussed Eman’s case Saifee hospital doctors.
On Monday, Eman’s sister Shaimaa Selim called bariatric surgeon Dr Muffazal Lakdawala and other doctors from the team ‘liars’, refuting their claims that Eman, who was nearly 500kg when she arrived in Mumbai in February, has lost over 330kg and now weighs 171kg.
Shaimaa said, “Shamsheer Vayalil, founder and managing director of VPS Healthcare, who had previously contacted the family to treat Eman, might be a good choice for her treatment now.” Doctors from Saifee hospital confirmed the possibility.
“The doctors from VPS Healthcare are in the city, discussing the case with us. We are taking them to meet Eman to show her current medical condition,” said Dr Aparna Govil Bhaskar, section chief of bariatric surgery at the Saifee Hospital.
Officials from the hospital said a meeting was organised on Tuesday with Egyptian Counsel General in Mumbai, Ahmed Khalil, doctors from Saifee Hospital and Shaimaa to discuss the case.
Talking to HT, Shaimaa said she doesn’t trust doctors from Egypt or India when it comes to her sister’s health. “I am thankful for all the treatment they have provided, but Eman’s condition is degrading and I don’t think they are equipped to handle it.”
