A 50-year-old Saudi woman suffering from kidney disease vanished at a hospital in the Gulf Kingdom just after her husband left her in the examination room to see the supervising doctor, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.

Umm Saeed went with her husband Saeed Al Shahrani to the hospital in the southern town of Khamis Mushait for kidney dialysis at noon on Saturday and is still missing after she just disappeared from the examination room.

“I just left her in the check up room and went to see the doctor and finish procedures for dialysis…when I returned to the room, I could not find her,” Shahrani said, quoted by Sabq Arabic language daily.

“We looked for her in every corner in the hospital but could not find her…we told the police and announced her disappearance through mosques, clubs and mobile phone messages but she is still missing.”

Shahrani said his wife needs to have regular kidney dialysis or she could fall unconscious and eventually die if left without treatment.
