Rom is being held hostage at the hospital until bill is paid.

Rom has improved a great deal and is officially discharged from Aga Khan hospital. However their system requires that he remain in the hospital until the bill is fully paid. He owes about $2,500 and it will continue to go up every day he is held hostage, unless enough funds are raised to pay the bill.

To me it is a corrupt policy in an already overcrowded hospital system. It adds to spread of infection and keeps people from resuming productive work.
I hope donors will continue to step up and help pay off the hospital bill so Rom can get back to doing all of the wonderful things he does to assist others. I am so grateful that his health has improved. Please keep Rom and all associated with FIOH in your prayers.
