Twelve specialist operating theatre trolleys are heading from the Fens to frontline hospitals in Ukraine.
They are being donated by North Cambridgeshire Hospital (NCH) in Wisbech and will be distributed to Ukraine hospitals most in need of surgical and emergency care support.
The donation is part of The QEH’s ongoing commitment to reducing waste and contributing to a more sustainable future for global healthcare.
Paul Brooks, QEH Director of Estates and Facilities, said: “We are proud to contribute to the ongoing medical relief efforts in Ukraine. These trolleys will support frontline healthcare workers who continue to deliver life-saving care in incredibly challenging circumstances.
“As a trust, we are committed to not only supporting a vital cause in Ukraine but reducing our waste and becoming a sustainable, environmentally responsible organisation.”
The QEH has been collecting surplus or unwanted medical supplies for the past month from departments across the Trust and plans to send these further donations from the main hospital in King’s Lynn in the coming weeks.
