Funds raised for this year’s QEH Big Day of Giving will go towards ensuring hospital staff and patients of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital have access to the best medical equipment as well as clinical priorities for their healthcare needs. 

Newer and state-of-the-art hospital equipment helps save lives, enhances patient care exponentially, and fosters innovation. It can also act as a magnet, attracting healthcare practitioners who want access to the best equipment so they can provide the very best care.
