An Egyptian woman who weighs 500kg (78st) has been flown to India in a cargo plane so she can begin a series of weight reduction surgeries.
After flying from Alexandria to Mumbai, Eman Ahmed Abd El Aty was transported to Saifee Hospital in a truck, and a crane was used to carefully lift her bed into the building.
The bedridden 36-year-old, who was diagnosed with elephantiasis at birth, is going to be under observation for a month before she is operated on by renowned bariatric surgeon Dr Muffazal Lakdawala.
Ms Abd El Aty has been described by Egyptian media as the world's heaviest woman, and she gave a thumbs up as she was admitted to the hospital.
Her round-the-world trip for treatment reportedly marks the first time she has left her home in 25 years.
