Sick Taranaki children to benefit from high-tech health equipment

Some of Taranaki’s smallest patients are to benefit from a sizeable donation that is enabling the purchase of new high-tech equipment for Taranaki Base Hospital.

Thanks to a $66,700 donation from the 2019 Countdown Kids Hospital Appeal, the Neonatal Unit has a new specialised baby ventilator, while the Children and Young People’s Ward is to receive a handheld, infrared monitor that easily finds the tiny veins of children.
