The family of a 51-year-old Russian woman who fell into a coma due to a stroke has been in Egypt for nearly two weeks and is seeking transportation back to Russia. Transportation companies require more than 10 million rubles for patient transport. This was announced by the woman’s son, Ruslan Gardikhanov.
Gardikhanov stated that on the evening of January 4, when they arrived at Sharm el-Sheikh airport, his mother began feeling unwell with severe headaches and shortness of breath before her heart stopped. Medical personnel promptly provided assistance and resuscitation, after which doctors confirmed she had suffered a stroke.
