Officials from the US diplomatic mission in the metropolis on Thursday visited the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) to get updates on the health of an American woman receiving treatment for mental and physical issues. The 35-year-old American woman, Onija Andrew Robbins, who travelled to the metropolis driven by her love for a Pakistani teenager, has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder apart from other health issues. Robbins, mother of two, has been given a 15-day extension after her three months visit visa expired, while Nidal Ahmed Memon, for whom she has fallen, and his family have been hiding since the American woman caught the media's attention in Karachi.

Three packs of blood were administered, raising her hemoglobin level to 9. The patient is being continuously monitored for her physical and mental health, with medications prescribed to manage her bipolar disorder.

Other medical complications affecting the patient have also shown signs of improvement. According to hospital officials, Robbins' visa is set to expire on February 11. She is expected to be discharged before this date, pending final fitness approval from the Medical Board.
