GOVERNMENT PLEDGES $30,000 FOR KIDS OF MACARTHUR
NSW Health Minister Ryan Park has donated $30,000 to the Kids of Macarthur Health Foundation, one of southwestern Sydney’s premier children’s charities.
Kids of Macarthur Health Foundation raises money to purchase state-of-the-art medical equipment for the eight paediatric units in Campbelltown and Camden Hospitals.
Mr Park announced the $30,000 donation at the Kids of Macarthur Health Foundation annual ball.
“The Kids of Macarthur Health Foundation is dedicated to improving healthcare and enhancing the quality of life of sick kids in this region,” Mr Park said.
“Since it was established in 2000, the foundation has supplied vital medical equipment to Campbelltown and Camden Hospitals, enhancing the level of care offered to our youngest patients.
“The foundation has also supported countless community health programs that assist in the growth, development and wellbeing of children living in the Macarthur region.”
Funds raised from this year’s ball will go towards the purchase of a neonatal retinal scanner, which will help identify early health issues in premature and at-risk newborns.
Mr Park said the neonatal retinal scanner – together with the NSW Government’s $632 million investment in the Stage 2 redevelopment of Campbelltown Hospital – would significantly enhance paediatric care in the region.
“The NSW Government recognises just how valuable the foundation’s contribution is to ensuring our children and young people have the best opportunity to achieve their full potential,” Mr Park said.
“Together, we can continue to provide children in the Macarthur region with the very best start in life.”
NSW Health Ministers have historically supported funding for the Kids of Macarthur Health Foundation, with funding provided on an annual basis.
The foundation provides equipment for the Children’s Unit, Paediatric Ambulatory Care, Paediatric Emergency, Paediatric Allied Health, Special Care Nursery, Child and Adolescent Mental Health, plus Maternity, Delivery and Post Natal Units at Campbelltown and Camden Hospitals, as well as children’s community health programs.
