Egyptian actress Yasmin Abdelaziz returned to Egypt on Friday after a medical trip to Geneva, Switzerland to continue her medical treatment from surgical complications.
On July 17, Abdelaziz's husband, actor Ahmed Elawady announced that she was undergoing surgery and asked fans to pray for her.
The actress' family wished to remain silent on details about her health condition, but Elawady asked fans on social media to pray for her after he felt that her life was in danger following the surgery.
Abdelaziz underwent a cystectomy operation at one of the major hospitals, but a medical error occurred that led to her having a bowel perforation.
The actress was discharged after her health stabilized and stayed in her home for four days only before traveling to Switzerland by a private hospital’s equipped ambulance with her friend.
Abdelaziz's husband did not board the flight due to the delay in travel visas, however, he managed later to follow her.
The actress reassured her fans two weeks after the trip that her health condition improved.
Earlier this month, Elawady recounted in a phone-in with the “ON” TV channel that surgery almost lead to her death.
He shared Dr. Hesham El Kilany, Professor of Endoscopy at Ain Shams University, was stunned by the deterioration of Abdelaziz’s condition.
“He told me that she needs to seek treatment immediately otherwise she would die in three hours,” he revealed.
Elawady added Abdelaziz contacted the treating doctor and told him that she felt as if she was dying.
He noted that the doctor laughed at her and told her that he was on vacation and to go eat and walk.
“She was in pain for four days and telling me she was dying. When I talk to the doctor, he said, ‘ No, this is normal, something occurs to about 15% of those who undergo this operation,” Elawady added.
