Friday May 22 at 11am, Cure2Children attended a meeting requested by the Ambassador of Pakistan to Italy, Tasnim Aslam, in the Pakistani Embassy in Via della Camilluccia 682, Rome.
During the meeting aid was requested for more than 2 million refugees from the Swat valley in the north-west of Pakistan, following the offensive by Pakistani military against the Taliban. This is the biggest displacement of people since the independence of Pakistan and a genuine humanitarian emergency.
Although it was stressed that these circumstances do not fall within the mission of Cure2Children, Dr. Faulkner gave his availability to support children with serious onco-haematological medical problems should they be without care, and to contribute to the list of drugs deemed essential by Ambassador Aslam. At the meeting representatives of CESVI, InterSOS and ISCOS were also present.
Ambassador Aslam has given her full support for the request for recognition as an International Non-Governmental Organisation (INGO) to Cure2Children in Pakistan.
