Mumbai: A team of doctors from Abu Dhabi visited the Saifee hospital here to meet Egyptian woman Eman Ahmed, who is being treated for obesity at the medical facility.
The doctors from VPS Healthcare hospital in Abu Dhabi visited the hospital in south Mumbai where the staff cooperated with them, Doctor Aparna Bhaskar, one of the specialists in the team treating Eman, said.
The team shared all of Eman's medical reports with the visiting doctors. They met the patient while she was undergoing physiotherapy sessions, she said.
The Abu Dhabi doctors visited Eman upon her sister Shaimaa Selim's request.
Eman weighed around 500 kg when she was brought to Mumbai in February.
Selim had recently alleged that the doctors at Saifee hospital made "false claims" about Eman's weight loss of 262 kg from 500 kg.
Refuting the allegations, Bhaskar said on Tuesday that Selim may be criticising the doctors to extend her sister's stay at the hospital.
