Earlier this year we ran a general emergency Corona Crisis fundraiser. We are thrilled to share these images from the hospital of new oxygen ventilators which some of the funds raised were used for. These machines are crucial in the care of patients who require artificial help to keep breathing while they fight this virus. The older ventilators in the hospital have already spent over 30,000 hours breathing life into such patients, these new ones will help save many more.

The new ventilators were first blessed during a short ceremony, as is the custom at the hospital. They were then immediately put to work, as our image shows, helping critically ill patients to breathe.

So, thankyou to all of you who donated, your support is vital, and you are helping to save lives right now.

It is easy to feel helpless watching the tragic scenes from India of people dying on streets and being cremated in car parks. But there IS something positive you can do to help. We are raising urgent funds for The Duncan Hospital to buy a new oxygen producing plant.

Staff numbers at The Duncan have been hugely affected by this latest wave of corona with many falling ill, others are battling on to save the most critical patients. Currently, the hospital’s old oxygen plant is creaking along at a capacity it was never designed for, it needs to be switched off every two hours to make sure it doesn’t overheat. The hospital is desperately trying to raise £58,000 to pay for a new O2 production plant to work beside the old one and ensure they can continue to save more lives.

So, if you would like to make a difference and know where 100% of your donation is going, please consider giving any amount, no matter how small. Thank you from all of us at www.tdhct .co.uk
