"It is extremely important for us that children from Ukraine also have the opportunity to be treated in the best and most modern medical institutions in the world, which is undoubtedly the Bambino Gesu Clinic. I want to assure you that the government is making every effort to eliminate bureaucratic obstacles and establish cooperation with the hospital as soon as possible," Denis Shmygal stressed.
