An incredible story of hope and miracle has made rounds on the UAE media sphere.

The National published a special on an Emirati woman who woke up from a 27-year-long coma after having been involved in a car accident back in 1991.

The story of Munira Abdulla’s fate began when she went to pick up her then four-year-old son Omar from school in Al Ain- when her car hit with a school bus which left her with a harrowing brain injury.

Doctors kept telling Munira’s sons that she wouldn’t wake up

But in 2018, she woke up in a hospital room in Germany with her son Omar, now 32-years-old at her side. Following the accident, Munira had been receiving treatment across hospitals in the UAE but thankfully the Crown Prince Court offered the family a grant to have her moved to a multidisciplinary programme in Germany.

Omar told The National, “We did not even ask for the grant, and it was offered to us. I am grateful to Sheikh Mohamed [bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi] for that. In general, our leaders are always supportive in such situations, and we are thankful for it.”

It was also believed that she wouldn’t be able to speak after waking up from the coma

Doctors kept telling her son Omar that, at this point, treatment would be done to improve her quality of life. But months after his mother had woken up from the coma, with continuous physical therapies and helping her body get accustomed to movement- Ms Abdulla eventually ended up talking.

And her first word was calling out Omar’s name.

Today, she’s back in the UAE with her family- still on treatment for further development. She can communicate in portions, and usually recites the Quran with Omar. On other days, he’ll take her to the Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi in a wheelchair.

What a story!
