The heaviest woman in the world has died in Abu Dhabi

Today, on September 25, an Egyptian woman Iman Ahmed Abdulatti, who was considered the heaviest woman in the world, died in one of the hospitals in Abu Dhabi (UAE). In the winter of this year, it weighed about half a ton. Doctors performed many operations, as a result of which the weight was reduced by almost half. But in the summer, Abdulatti's condition deteriorated sharply.

A 36-year-old resident of Alexandria has suffered from elephantiasis since childhood (persistent increase in body size due to painful overgrowth of the skin and subcutaneous tissue). Abdulatti suffered a stroke and was bedridden for 25 years.

In February, an Indian doctor, Muffazal Lakdawala, specializing in laparoscopic surgery, volunteered to help a 500-kilogram Egyptian woman. Abdulatti was taken to Mumbai on a charter plane and soon she underwent surgery to reduce her stomach and removed some of the fat. The patient's weight decreased by half.

"Iman died on September 25 from intestinal obstruction and kidney failure. She was monitored by a team of more than 20 doctors of various specialties who have successfully improved her well-being since her arrival in the UAE. We offer our sincere condolences to the family of the deceased," the hospital said in a statement.
