Security and health officials lifted a sigh of relief when 35-year-old American woman, Onija Andrew Robbins, who received psychiatric treatment at JPMC, was declared suitable for traveling and discharged Friday night.

She was escorted to the female police station by a completely female group, from which she was taken to Jinnah Interantonional Terminal and put on a flight home.

Previously, the hospital’s officials confirmed that events for her journey, including necessary documents and a plane ticket, were pending from the US Consulate General in Karachi. Once the formalities were completed, she was sent out.

The hospital had been in regular communication with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and the US diplomatic mission regarding her return.

Medical reports had indicated great improvement in her condition. Her hemoglobin level had risen from four to 9.9. However, she continued to fight against bipolar disorder, which would require continuous treatment.

According to Prof Chooni Lal, head of the medical board, who oversees her care, patients with such conditions tend to recover faster when they are surrounded by family and in a well -known environment.

Dr. Salman, joint CEO of JPMC, confirmed that the Medical Board had submitted his report Friday and declared her suitable for traveling. When the US Consulate ends her travel documents, she will be discharged and flown back to the United States. The FIA ​​and the US Consulate coordinate with the hospital to ensure smooth events for her departure.

Robbins, who traveled to Karachi to be with a young man she fell in love with online, was admitted to JPMC Psychiatry Ward a week ago after she was daunted by her love. Initial medical tests and psychiatric evaluations led to her transfer to the special care unit. On February 3, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
