The 18-bedded Unit in CHI at Crumlin includes six neonatal high dependency beds for babies with additional care needs. Together with six well-established neonatal high dependency beds in CHI at Temple Street, this will provide long-planned specialised cots for a particularly vulnerable group of patients.  The new unit, which will transfer directly into the new children’s hospital, will also contain specialist equipment, suitable for taking care of small and delicate babies.

Denise Fitzgerald, Chief Executive of Children’s Health Foundation said “We are delighted to be here for the launch of a new Neonatal unit in CHI at Crumlin, and see first-hand the impact donations will have for small and delicate babies.  With over €1.1m invested in the refurbishment of this unit, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to each and every supporter who have made today possible, ensuring every sick child deserves the very best chance.”
