From First Steps to a Lasting Commitment
Our story Part 2: Professor Gordon and Jackie Mackayโs initial involvement with The Duncan Hospital was focused on a single, meaningful goal: helping to fund the completion of a new Mother and Child Unit.
At first, donations were channelled through the Edinburgh Medical Missionary Society (EMMS). However, it soon became clear that a more dedicated approach was needed – one that focused entirely on the specific needs and future of The Duncan Hospital.

In 2011, together with close friends Dr Graham Watson and Karen Watson, the Duncan Hospital Charitable Trust (DHCT) was established.
What began as a single project has since grown into a long-term commitment. Today, the DHCT supports a wide range of initiatives at Duncan Hospital and beyond, continuing to build on those early foundations.
