Terminally ill boy denied 'potentially life-saving' treatment by NHS 'would be given it in any US hospital'

Terminally ill boy denied 'potentially life-saving' treatment by NHS 'would be given it in any US hospital' An eight month old boy being denied “potentially life-saving” treatment at Great Ormond Street would be given it at any hospital in America, a court has heard.

The parents of terminally ill Charlie Gard broke down in tears as they listened to medical evidence relating to his rare genetic condition and what his doctors say is a “vanishingly small” chance of his survival.

But an American doctor who has agreed to attempt a pioneering treatment for his mitochondrial disorder, said that it was “reasonable” to attempt to save his life and if he were in a hospital in the USA his parents would have the option. The Daily Telegraph
