Through quality care, treatment and compassionate, loving support, the lives of many of these children can be improved to a level where they can then be discharged back to their families. The success they have in discharging the majority of their patients to the fact that they micro manage their patients and will go to exceptional lengths to secure the best medical treatment for their children. Through this ethos they have also been able to build up a good relationship with the public medical services as well as securing a pool of private doctors and hospitals who provide services at a significantly reduced rate or pro-bono.
