Tafida Raqeeb: family to take NHS to court in effort to save daughter Parents challenge doctors who say it is in best interests of girl with brain injury to be allowed to die
The family of a seriously ill five-year-old girl are taking an NHS trust to court in an effort to force doctors to release her for what they believe would be life-saving treatment abroad.
Tafida Raqeeb, from Newham, east London, suffered a traumatic brain injury in February and is on a life support machine at Royal London hospital. Her parents want to fly her to Italy for treatment but doctors at the hospital, part of Bart’s NHS trust, say it would not be in her best interests. The Guardian
