Life-Saving Treatment
Bader Alshammari of Kuwaiti needed help for his daughter and her cousin, but doctors around the world turned them away. Robert E. Wood, MD, a specialist in rare lung disease at Cincinnati Children’s, knew he could help the girls, who have hereditary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. Dr. Wood has been able to save the girls' lives by washing sediment out of their lungs every few weeks.
