Since 1990, we have worked
tirelessly, to advance the technological superiority of this special
hospital for the care for the poor and for the sick and suffering in
Europe. Today, it one of the best equipped hospitals in all of
Europe. Over the years we have helped with the acquisition of
cancer treatment, diagnostic and rehabilitation modalities.
Recently, through the efforts of Pave the
Way Foundation, PTWF has enabled the acquisition of a state of the art General Electric
PET-CT Elite scanner to Casa Sollievo Della Sofferenza in San
Giovanni Rotondo Italy. This enormous technology further advances the
medical care for the poor of Europe, through the benevolent works of
the hospital of St. Padre Pio.
Delivery of the machine was March 29, 2007 and
the dedication ceremony occurred May 5, 2007 with H.Em. Tarcisio
Cardinal Bertone, Vatican Secretary of State and H.E. Archbishop
Domenico D'Ambrosio President of the hospital. This technology will enable enormous advances in
cancer detection, treatment and research in Neurology and cardiology
for the poor in Europe. PTWF is proud of it's contribution to this
project which will save many lives through early accurate diagnosis.
