The president of Rome's
Vatican-owned Bambino Gesù Hospital, Mariella Enoc, said Monday
she has asked her health director to ask London's Great Ormond
Street Hospital if terminally ill 11-month-old Charlie Gard can
be moved there, "We know that it is a desperate case and that
there are no effective therapies," Enoc said, adding "we are
close to the parents in prayer and, if this is their desire,
willing to take their child, for the time he has left to live".
Enoc said Pope Francis's words on the case summed up her
hospital's mission: "Dfeneding human life, above all when it is
wounded by illness, is a commitment of love that God entrusts to
all men".
