500-kg Egyptian woman to reach Mumbai for surgery

A 36-year-old Egyptian woman weighing 500 kgs, who has not moved out of her house for 25 years, would reach Mumbai tomorrow for her weight reduction treatment, doctors said today.<br/><br/>Eman Ahmed, one of the heaviest women in the world, is currently under the care of a city-based bariatric surgeon Muffazal Lakdawala, and his team of doctors. <br/><br/>Lakdawala and his team have been treating Eman for almost three months and have taken all the necessary precautions needed for the transportation of bed-bound Eman from Egypt's Alexandria city, an aide to Lakdawala said. Even so transporting Eman to Mumbai is a challenging task<br/>keeping in mind the complexities of her case as she is a high risk patient who has not been able to move he said.<br/><br/>A special bed has been created by local Egyptian artisans in requirements with the safety precautions as laid out by the Egypt Air for her safe transport on ground and in the plane.
