Doctors in a Spanish hospital caring for a British boy with a serious brain tumour are finalizing details to enable him to fly for treatment in the Czech Republic.
Southern Malaga's Childern's and Maternity Hospital said its medical directors will meet Saturday to review preparations.
The hospital said 5-year-old Ashya King is in a stable condition and a flight to Prague won't pose a problem to his health. It said a special aircraft will pick him up, but it wasn't clear when.
The Proton Therapy Centre will send a medically equipped private plane to take Ashya from Spain. Proton beam therapy has been the treatment of choice in Europe and the United States since the mid-1990s for several kinds of cancers - but not for medulloblastoma, which is the kind of tumour Ashya has.
Doctors in Prague are expected to meet on Monday to review Ashya's medical notes, said BBC News.
The boy's parents, Brett and Naghmeh King were arrested a week ago by Spanish police after they removed him without medical consent from a hospital in the English city of Southampton and drove him to Malaga. They were later released as the charges against them were dropped.
British reports say the parents had previously been in touch with the centre in Prague and while in the U.K., were insisting on proton beam therapy for their son.
