Newborn baby airlifted from Bristol to Rome for life-saving surgery
A one-month-old British boy with a serious heart condition has been airlifted to a hospital in Rome to undergo life-saving surgery.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was said to have personally stepped in to ensure the child could travel.
Photos of the transfer show an Italian ambulance on board a military cargo plane which was flown in to collect the boy from Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.
He suffers from a congenital heart condition and his parents said doctors told them crucial treatment was not available in this country.
