As Eman Ahmed, who was once known as 'the world's heaviest woman', was discharged from Mumbai's Saifee hospital on Thursday after undergoing treatment for severe obesity, her sister Shaimaa Salim is thankful to the Indian doctors for treating her sibling.

Eman will fly to the UAE today, where her treatment will continue at Abu Dhabi.

Shaimaa told ANI, "I am thankful to India and the doctors in India for helping my sister."

Dressed in pink, Ahmed was wheeled out of Saifee Hospital even as dozens of media persons tried getting a picture of her.

She was taken to Chhattrapati Shivaji International Airport in an ambulance, where an Egypt Air cargo flight will take her to Burjeel Hospital in Abu Dhabi at around 6.10 pm.

Bariatric surgeon Dr Aparna Govil Bhasker said that Eman was already on blood thinners and that she would have a safe flight.

Amidst the discharge, there were rumours that Shaimaa had refused to sign several documents needed for discharge. Following this, state health minister Dr Deepak Sawant was called, but these reports were refuted by Dr Muffazal Lakadawala. “There were no issues with respect to the transfer. Everything was cordial," maintained Dr Lakdawala.

A green corridor was created by Mumbai traffic police to take Eman from Saifee hospital in South Mumbai to the international airport.

Earlier, Shaima had earlier lashed out at the concerned surgeon Dr Muffazal Lakdawala and the hospital calling them "liars" and claimed they had put Eman on massive medication to stop her "brain activity".

Dr Lakdawala who heads the team of doctors treating Eman refuted the charges.

Officials said this was a tactic by the family to delay Eman's discharge because no medical facility in Egypt is willing to provide free medical services.

However, when ANI approached Dr. Lakdawala to know the other side of the story, he denied all the allegations levelled against him by Shaimaa.

In fact, the doctor said that Eman was doing well.

The doctor also said that Shaimaa is creating a scene because she does not want to take her sister back to Egypt due to financial reasons.

On April 21, 36-year-old Egyptian Eman Ahmed, who was the heaviest woman in the world at 500-plus kg, had lost 250kg in two months after undergoing surgery here Saifee Hospital.
