Operation Childlife
(IE, CHY20008) Browse events
YTD Raised: €0.00Operation Childlife was established by the medical community in Ireland in 2007 to voluntarily provide developing countries with an opportunity to access paediatric surgical expertise which is provided on a voluntary basis by some of Ireland’s top medics. The project began with an invitation from the Christina Noble Foundation, based in Ho Chi Minh City, to provide paediatric expertise for the local hospital. Following this request, Professor Martin Corbally visited Children’s Hospital #2 to establish the clinical and local contacts. When both parties understood the requirements and were happy to proceed, Professor Corbally obtained approval from OLCHC hospital management to provide essential equipment and hotel costs and to secure time off. Part funding was also received from RCSI. There are a number of significant benefits attached to Operation Childlife. While our team are performing their procedures they are observed and provide training to the indigenous medics who quickly learn how to carry out the same procedures thereafter. While our team performed over 100 heart operations in 2009-2010 the local surgeons under our guidance have been sufficiently trained to carry out over 70 similar procedures without our intervention. In addition, our team have learnt from the overseas team and have brought new skills and procedures back to Ireland. Although Vietnam was the first part of the journey and our work there will never be complete they are now sufficiently skilled locally to allow us to progress to other markets in need. In late 2010 we commenced operations in Tanzania and will offer support to Mongolia later this year.

We would be delighted if you could lend your support to our appeal; thank you again for your consideration! Funds raised through Cappagh Hospital Foundation in 2015 will go directly to fund the Rehabilitation Gym at our Active Rehabilitation Unit (ARU)The ethos of the Active Rehabilitation Unit (ARU) is to help patients return to an active, confident and sociable life following a trauma or an acute medical episode. The new customised rehabilitation gym will provide a large, dedicated space for patients to complete their physiotherapy programmes, which will help them return to a more independent life. This new facility will give the patients more space to practice their walking, participate in classes and improve their balance and strength as well as enjoying the social benefits of interaction with their fellow patients and their care team. The proximity of the gym to the unit will also make the gym more accessible and convenient for the patients. To ensure this development, we need to raise €200,000 this year and we desperately need kind people like you to make it happen. “I was transferred to the Active Rehabilitation Unit in Cappagh following an accident where I broke my ankle. I was in the ARU for 7 months. I had surgery and a personalised physiotherapy and occupational therapy plan which was vital to get me ready to return home. Throughout my stay, the care and attention I received was excellent and the entire team at the ARU work so well together. They ensure that every patient has the very best of treatment.” (Eithne McGrane, Dublin) Once again, thank you for your consideration; your support will make a significant difference to patients with very serious orthopaedic problems in Cappagh Hospital.
