26-year-old world’s fattest woman, Iman Ahmad Abdulati, is to fly to India from her home in Alexandria, Egypt, after one of the world’s leading bariatric surgeons volunteered to treat her, Daily Star reported.
But Iman’s hope was almost dashed when immigration officials at India’s embassy in Cairo refused to believe she was too big to visit the embassy to make her visa application.

It was only when the surgeon, Dr Muffazzal Lakdawala, used Twitter to contact India’s External Affairs Minister, Sushma Swaraj, to ask for help before the application was given attention.
Lakdawala asked that the minister assists in prevailing on the embassy in Cairo to grant Iman visa away from the normal process.
The Minister replied to the doctor’s tweet immediately and the visa request was granted and everything could go forward. She said: “Thanks for bringing this to my notice. We will definitely help her.”
