This was after the intervention of Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who herself is currently admitted to a hospital in Delhi for kidney transplant.

In fact, 36-year-old Eman Ahmed was issued medical visa by the Indian Embassy in Egypt on Tuesday after a Mumbai-based doctor requested Swaraj to help the woman travel to India for treatment.
