The Friends of Mallow Hospital are delighted to support Mallow General Hospital with the purchase of a new mobile ultrasound machine, costing over €40,000.

This new machine replaces a similar ultrasound machine which had been in use for over 15 years.

This important medical equipment will provide valuable support to the work of the doctors, nurses and wider healthcare team at Mallow General Hospital, helping them to continue providing high-quality care to patients throughout the hospital community.

The Friends of Mallow Hospital is a voluntary organisation, and this purchase has been made possible through the generous contributions and donations received from the many people who have used, supported and valued this wonderful hospital over the years.

The Friends are extremely proud to be able to return these contributions to the hospital in such a valuable way.

“We are delighted to support Mallow General Hospital with the purchase of this new mobile ultrasound machine. It is a wonderful example of how the generosity of the local community can directly benefit patient care and support the excellent work carried out every day by the nurses, doctors and staff of the hospital.”

— Mr Gerard Falvey, Chairperson

The Friends of Mallow Hospital would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the organisation and, in doing so, helped make projects such as this possible. Every contribution, large or small, helps the Friends continue their work supporting Mallow General Hospital and its patients.

The Friends encourage members of the public to visit this website for further information about the organisation, its work and how people can provide support.

The Friends are proud to play their part in supporting the hospital and look forward to continuing to work with the community to help provide the best possible facilities and care for the people of Mallow, North Cork and the wider surrounding area.
