$50,000 hospital donations
NEARLY $50,000 worth of new equipment has been donated to Innisfail Hospital.
The Innisfail Hospital Friends of the Foundation have funded more than $47,000 worth of new equipment.
The equipment includes:
Specialised respiratory devices
Advanced imaging equipment
New maternity waiting room furniture.
Innisfail Hospital physiotherapist Kyle Rowsell said the new mucus clearing devices would significantly benefit people in the community living with chronic lung conditions.
“These devices help move mucus from deep within the lungs, open the airways for longer and improve the ability to clear secretions,” Mr Rowsell said.
“They’re particularly helpful for patients with conditions such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), emphysema, bronchitis and bronchiectasis. The equipment promotes better ventilation and reduces gas trapping, supporting patients to breathe more comfortably and effectively.”
The hospital also has received a humidification system and new couches for the maternity waiting area.
