The American Embassy has declined to take responsibility for a retired U S Army officer currently receiving treatment at Bloom Medical Centre in Accra.

The officer, Amboree Harold Eugene, was first admitted to Narh Bita Hospital in Tema before being transferred to Bloom Medical Centre.

According to hospital officials, his landlord brought him to the initial facility in critical condition but has since refused to assume any financial responsibility.

Management at Bloom Medical Centre reports that it has spent over $100,000 on Eugene's treatment, excluding the cost of meals and other expenses.
