Patients get Royal treatment from Prince William and Prince Harry!

The primary objectives of their visit to the Hospital was to spend time with patients and their caregivers in the Specialist Medical Ward E2 and to announce the Public Launch of the Children’s Hospital Trust’s fundraising campaign to develop a Surgical Skills Training Centre at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital.

The Surgical Skills Training Centre will be equipped to train surgeons in adult and paediatric endoscopic (Minimally Invasive Surgery) surgery as well as general surgery and in specialties other than surgery.

This project is one of the Children’s Hospital Trust’s key fundraising drives for 2010. The Trust is also fundraising to upgrade the Specialist Burns Unit at the Hospital. Seed funding has been secured from international and local donors for the Surgical Skills Training Centre and the Trust is now appealing to the public for support.
