Urgent Needs

We need to raise €3 million per year to improve the care for patients and their families.

What patients need now

Family Heart Screening

The clinic screens families for potentially life-threatening inherited heart conditions – such as Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS) – and needs €300,000 per year to stay open

Cancer Care

Every day, around 45 people receive cancer treatment in the Mater Hospital. The foundation invests in new equipment, staff training, and medical research to support them

Heart & Lung

The Mater Hospital is the only place in Ireland to carry out heart and lung transplants. Our supporters help patients by funding staff education and equipment that aids rehabilitation

What else is needed?

 

Patient care is at the centre of everything we do. We work closely with doctors and nurses to identify what the patients need most.

That could be wheelchairs. Or, medical research. Or, refurbishing family rooms so patients and their loved ones have somewhere private and quiet. 

Other areas you can help

We invest in the spinal injuries unit and end of life care, amongst many other hospital departments and wards. Take a moment to read how your donations have helped to change lives.

Improved patient care

The patients always come first. Whether that is exercise bikes that help them recuperate after operations, or a family room for a very ill patient’s family.
