Heaviest Person in the World Comes to India for Her Surgery

By Bipasha Mitra

Inflicted with Elephantiasis at a young age, she was restricted to her house that had accelerated her weight gain and obesity.

Iman Ahmad Abdulati is claimed to be the heaviest woman on the planet.
With her 500kgs weight Iman neither can move from one place to another nor can she roll over.
She even went through a cerebral stroke that had rendered her completely bedridden.
For 25 years she has not gone out of her home in Egypt.
Now, she with the help of her family is coming to India for her treatment.
Her medical visa at the Indian Embassy in Egypt was previously cancelled because of her absence during the visa application.
Officials didn't believe her family members.
After her doctor in India, Dr. Muffazal Lakdawala sought help from the Indian Union Minister of External Affairs, Sushma Swaraj through Twitter, Iman Ahmad Abdulati got her visa finally approved.
She is coming to Mumbai, India, in a private chartered plane.
