As Egyptian woman Eman Ahmed, who was once the world’s heaviest, left Mumbai today, three severely obese children have come to the city from Gujarat for obesity treatment. The doctors at Saifee Hospital are expecting four more children – two from Maharashtra and two from Gujarat – to join the trio. “They came to the city this morning, we are taking them to Saifee Hospital now,” said Dilip Nandwana, their uncle. However, a drug called MC4R Agonist, only available through a pharmaceutical company in the US, could help these seven children,” Dr Lakdawala said. “As we have treated Eman successfully and brought her weight down to 170kg from over 500kg, we are looking forward to help the children.
