Protecting children’s vision
A consortium of Rotary clubs and districts in Australia and India raised A$148,000 for state-of-the-art mobile diagnostic imaging platform for The Eye Clinic at the Children's Hospital at Westmead
The Eye Clinic at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead in Sydney is an outstanding facility that treats more than 8,500 children each year. However, it needed more advanced imaging technology to better diagnose and treat eye diseases and trauma. Early diagnosis and rapid treatment are often critical to the child’s future eye health.
“This significant contribution is a truly remarkable example of a shared vision becoming reality. Such foresight will improve the vision and quality of life for children now, and for generations to come.”
What was needed was a A$148,000 state-of-the-art mobile SPECTRALISOCT diagnostic imaging platform.
The Rotary Club of The Hills-Kellyville learned of this situation and put together a consortium of supporters that included Rotary clubs and districts in Australia and India. To reach the funding target, a grant of over A$64,000 was provided by The Rotary Foundation.
