The parents say the offer from a hospital in Rome 'restores their faith in humanity' after the High Court and the European Court of Human Rights declined to support their attempts to extend Indi's life-support care at a hospital in Nottingham.
An Italian hospital has offered to treat a critically ill eight-month-old baby whose parents lost a legal battle for her to stay on life-support in the UK, campaigners have said. Indi Gregory, who was born in February, has mitochondrial disease, a genetic condition that saps energy. Specialists say she is dying and a High Court judge recently ruled that doctors could lawfully limit the treatment they give her.
' The statement added: 'Fully-funded by the Italian government, the Bambino Gesu Paediatric Hospital in Rome has agreed to accept Indi for treatment.' 'Restored our faith in humanity' Mr Gregory said in a statement released through the centre that he had received a letter from the Italian hospital's president. 'We have been given a real chance by the Bambino Gesu Paediatric Hospital for Indi to get the care she needs and to have a longer life,' Mr Gregory said.
