Eman Abd el-Aty, the 36-year-old Egyptian who until recently was believed to be the heaviest woman alive, weighing in at 500 kg, could be leaving Saifee Hospital in Mumbai for Burjeel hospital in Abu Dhabi, according to the CEO of VPS healthcare which runs Burjeel Hospital. CEO of VPS healthcare, Shager Ghaffar, said on Wednesday that Shaimaa had reached out to him to discuss the possibility of transferring Eman to the hospital in Abu Dhabi after Saifee Hospital set Eman up to be discharged -- a suggestion that he has welcomed, awaiting medical reports. According to Shaimaa, Burjeel Hospital had previously shown interest in performing the bariatric surgery on Eman; however, Eman's family finally chose to proceed with Doctor Lakdawala in India. A team from VPS Healthcare, which runs Burjeel Hospital, visited Saifee Hospital on Wednesday to see Eman's medical reports. We have done our job and she is being discharged because she has shown miraculous recovery," said Huzefa Shehabi, COO of Saifee Hospital.
