A retired U S Army officer, Harold Eugene Amboree, has been hospitalised in Ghana for five years, living on the generosity of strangers after the U S Embassy refused to cover his medical expenses.
According to Amboree, the embassy declined to pay because his stay in the country was not officially authorised by the U S government.
This decision has put the hospital in a difficult position.
Management says they cannot continue his life-sustaining treatment indefinitely but fear he will die if discharged.
