In 2023, a Drager BabyRoo Open Care Warmer was donated to Orange Base Hospital with the proceeds of the Orange Running Festival 2023.
Separately, 3 pieces of equipment were provided to Orange Base Hospital's Special Care Nursury in 2022 thanks to Glenn Atkinson's 'Push from the Bush' local fundraising:
- A Panda Resuscitation Cot
- A Bililux Phototherapy Machine
- A 'Baby Leo'Humidicrib
But additional advanced neonatal equipement is needed in the region to give premature and critically ill babies the best chance of survival.
C'mon, let's Paint Orange Purple on 15 March 2026!
