Feature: Italian university, Chinese hospitals teaming up to fight cerebral palsy

ROME, Oct. 29 (Xinhua) -- Even with the coronavirus pandemic still spreading across Europe during summer, Claudio Romano, a top Italian gastroenterologist, remained focused on his work regarding children with cerebral palsy: conducting research and discussing observations with colleagues via online hook-ups.

After one of those calls, Romano said, he received an unexpected query: Would he be willing to help develop guidelines for doctors confronting the tragic disease in six hospitals in China? Romano said he didn't hesitate before agreeing.
