British girl who won life support legal battle is out of intensive care
Mother of Tafida Raqeeb says British doctors who said she had no prospect of recovering have been proven wrong
Tafida Raqeeb, a five-year-old British girl treated in Italy for a serious brain injury after her parents won a high court battle to keep her on life support, is out of intensive care.
Tafida was brought to Genoa’s Gaslini children’s hospital on 15 October after the high court ruled against the opinion of doctors at the Royal London hospital, where the child was on life support, who said it was in her best interests for treatment to be withdrawn because she had no awareness or prospect of recovering.
