But the road of life is long, wind and rain will always attack, and even the brightest angel will have his wings broken. We always have children suffering from all kinds of serious diseases, and our little bodies have to bear the pain they shouldn't, which is the last thing we want to see. Especially when children can't get the most appropriate treatment and their parents watch their children die of illness, a family will wither and break up.
1. Approach the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital (GOSH).
The Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital (GOSH) in London was founded by Dr. Charles West on February 1852, and has a long history of 168. It is the first international medical institution in Britain to provide medical services for children, and it is also recognized as one of the few institutions in the world that can treat children with rare, complex or multiple diseases.

It is worth mentioning that GOSH has a long history of communication with the British royal family. Queen Elizabeth II visited the hospital during the centenary celebration of 1952, and became the patron of Great Ormond Street Hospital on 1965. In 2002, the Queen made a special trip to visit the hospital on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of/kloc-0. At the same time, GOSH also celebrated the Queen's anniversary. The beloved Princess Diana served as the hospital director from 1989 until her death. There is a plaque at the entrance of the hospital to commemorate her service and contribution to the hospital, and her image is also placed in the hall of the hospital chapel.
Since its establishment, the hospital has been in a leading position in the field of pediatric nursing and research, and has led the continuous progress of medicine through breakthrough transformation research. As a biomedical research center dedicated to pediatrics in the UK, GOSH has formed an alliance with the Great Ormond Street Children's Health Institute of University College London, and established a large-scale specialized children's health research and postgraduate education center in Europe. In cooperation with University College Hospital, a large European cancer treatment center for children was established.
Over the years, GOSH has been adhering to the spirit of "zero injury, zero delay and zero waste" to provide reliable diagnosis and treatment for children in time. This practice also won the Berwick Patient Safety Team Award of British Medical Journal 20 14. GOSH's international and private patient service department provides medical services for children with rare and difficult diseases all over the world that cannot be achieved in their own countries. It receives more than 5,000 referrals from all over the world every year and provides tailor-made special medical services. GOSH's research team is using the power of genetics, cell therapy and regenerative medicine to treat patients, and the hospital is doing everything possible to create a comfortable and relaxed medical and hospitalization environment, and using advanced medical facilities to care for children.
2. Oh, my God. Advantage areas
As an international medical center, Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital has patients from all over the world. In close cooperation with Great Ormond Street Children's Health Research Institute of University of London, UK, its breakthrough and achievement in the field of gene therapy for children patients are incomparable to all other medical centers in the world.
In the construction of plastic surgery for children, a variety of skin diseases in children have been successfully treated, such as melanoma, head-chest conjoined division, ear reconstruction and craniofacial plastic surgery. In order to achieve the ideal therapeutic effect, they attach great importance to the cooperation among multiple disciplines, and cooperate with departments such as imaging, neurosurgery, respiratory and cardiovascular departments to promote the precise treatment of diseases.
In the service of children's neurotumor, they have 6 neurosurgeons, 9 children's brain tumor consultants and a number of imaging and other neurology professionals. With the wholehearted cooperation of the team, the hospital receives 450 patients with neurotumor every year and provides treatment suggestions for 50% children with brain tumor in the world. In terms of technology, they use advanced robots for biopsy, which can go deep into the child's brain and make the examination results more accurate. At the same time, the intraoperative nuclear magnetic resonance technology developed by the hospital can evaluate the surgical results and provide technical support for the safe resection of tumors.
In the field of neurology and neurosurgery, GOSH focuses on the treatment of children's nervous system diseases, especially epilepsy. Cooperate with doctors in other disciplines to provide professional and high-quality medical services for patients.
In the field of cardiovascular surgery, the hospital has clinically cured more than 700 children undergoing heart surgery. This hospital is the only department center in London that can treat pulmonary hypertension and tracheal stenosis, and it is also the largest treatment center for cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure in Britain.
3. Creating miracles, GOSH brings health to children again and again with superb medical skills.
God, miracles can happen at any time.
From June 5438 to June 20201October, GOSH's professional multidisciplinary team successfully completed the separation operation for a pair of twins from Turkey again. The twins from Turkey were only 17 months old when they were mentioned in GOSH. Because the incidence of conjoined twins in boys and infants is extremely low, the separation operation is risky and difficult. The incidence of conjoined infants is about 1 case in 2.5 million newborns, and only 5% conjoined infants are in the form of "skull connection", and the probability of successful separation is about1100,000.
Fortunately, they came to GOSH, which is one of the few professional hospitals in the world that can separate and care for conjoined babies. A team of 65,438+000 people consists of neurosurgeons and craniofacial surgeons, medical consultants, nurses, radiologists, anesthesiologists and technicians. With the support of physiotherapy, psychology and games teams, * * * shared their expertise to separate twins and ensure their recovery. In this separation operation, advanced technology provided strong support for the separation operation. GOSH's surgical and medical teams have conducted extensive research using cutting-edge technologies such as virtual reality (VR) and 3D modeling to help the team design a suitable surgical plan.
The operation was a great success. After several months of postoperative rehabilitation, the twin brothers were discharged from GOSH in June 2020 and have returned to Turkey to celebrate their second birthday.
Also reborn here is little Omar. Omar is a premature baby. He was born with limited growth and low weight. After the examination, Omar was found to have a rare congenital heart disease-Shawnee syndrome, which means that his left side of the heart is defective.
When he first arrived in Gosh, Omar weighed only 3.2 kilograms and suffered from complications such as chronic lung disease, pulmonary hypertension and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
Shortly after arriving at the hospital, Omar underwent the first heart surgery, and then he needed further heart surgery in the next eight weeks to solve the problems of poor clinical progress and recurrence of mitral stenosis. In addition, Ghosh also performed laser eye surgery for Omar to treat a serious eye disease called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
Omar's recovery time is relatively long, which requires complicated holistic nursing, physical therapy, oral language therapy and game therapy, involving various specialties. However, through the unremitting efforts of Omar's parents to his son and the hard work of the staff in Gosh cardiac intensive care unit, he is now in good condition.
4. Contact the Shengnuo family and take the through train to GOSH.
GOSH Hospital cooperates closely with well-known pediatric specialist hospitals in China, such as Beijing Kyoto Children's Hospital. On 20 17, GOSH Children's Hospital formally established an official signing cooperation relationship with the domestic and overseas medical service institution Shengnuo Family to help China children in need to be quickly referred to the UK for treatment. Nearly four years after signing the contract, the Shengnuo family has built a healthy bridge to "new life" for many domestic children, so that more children can find hope in GOSH. In the future, GOSH Hospital will continue to join hands with the Shengnuo family to provide the best medical services for children in China and protect their healthy growth.
