The mother of terminally ill British
11-month old Charlie Gard on Tuesday phoned Vatican kids'
hospital Bambino Gesù and was "very determined" to see if there
was a chance of treating the boy, president Mariella Enoc said -
- but Great Ormond Street said it could not move the boy from
London to Rome for "legal reasons".
Enoc said this was "sad" but, however, "our doctors and
scientists are looking into the possibility".
Enoc said Gard's mother Connie Yates "appears set to stop at
nothing" after a British court ordered his treatment to be
stopped.
Bambino Gesù offered to help Yates and her husband Chris Gard
after Pope Francis said treatment should be provided "until the
end".
Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin on Tuesday
said the pope had "full confidence" in the Bambino Gesù
management.
US President Donald Trump has also offered to help and on
Tuesday the Sun reported an unnamed US hospital was ready to
treat him free of charge.
