Treating the world’s heaviest woman is a big fight against the UAE’s swelling obesity problem, said Dr. Shamsheer Vayalil, chairman and managing director of VPS Healthcare in Abu Dhabi.
In less than 24 hours, his team of medical experts will be receiving 36-year-old Egyptian Eman Abdul Atti – dubbed the heaviest woman in the world – for treatment at Abu Dhabi’s Burjeel Hospital, owned by Dr Vayalil VPS group.
She will be medically evacuated from Mumbai’s Saifee Hospital where she was under treatment, and flown down to Abu Dhabi on Thursday evening in a customised chartered flight.
Special arrangements have been made at Burjeel Hospital to receive Eman where she will undergo a holistic treatment in the coming months. As per the doctors, the target is to bring her weight below 100 Kgs and the whole treatment may take a year or a little more or less than this.
