Karachi:

Security and health officials lifted a sigh of relief when 35-year-old American woman, Onijah Andrew Robbins, who received psychiatric treatment at JPMC, was declared to travel and discharge 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.

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.
