I just came back from my 2 day trip to Pakistan and some of my friends asked me to write about it. I've been to Islamabad to see the amazing wonderful things that the Italian foundation Cure2Children http://www.cure2children.org/ (founded just 2 years ago by parents who lost their kids and by the visionary physician Lawrence Faulkner) is doing there.

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of many people the Simone Montomoli Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) unit has become a reality at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences in Islamabad. On January 29^th the first actual transplant procedure was performed on a 4 year-old child

The Simone Montomoli BMT unit is a two-bedded facility with private patient rooms each one with a bathroom, split air conditioning, portable air filtration (HEPA) system and TV. Doctors and nurses have a lounge and access to internet for communication and data management.
