Eastern Health Agility Response Fund

The Eastern Health Agility Response Fund was set up in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 global pandemic.

Every dollar raised will help our frontline health workers care for patients at this challenging time.

When you support the Eastern Health Agility Support Fund, you’re doing something that WILL make a life-saving difference during the coronavirus pandemic.

All in this together

These challenging times are a reminder that we are all in this together, as we embrace our collective humanity and responsibility to each other.

As always, our doctors, nurses and allied health staff will work around the clock to keep you and your loved ones safe and healthy. Their selflessness and courage is on full display.

With your help, our doctors and nurses will be able to access resources at short notice to rapidly respond to new challenges.

This may include new equipment, expanding telehealth and other virtual methods of healthcare and innovative use of hospital space.

Every dollar you give will directly support our frontline doctors and nurses - there are no administration fees.

How your donation will help

Doctors, nurses and allied health staff from our COVID-19 wards, Emergency Departments and Intensive Care Units at Box Hill, Maroondah and Angliss Hospitals have told us they will need:

• video laryngoscopes  – to help doctors insert breathing tubes for patients who require ventilation
  
  
• portable transport ventilators – to provide life support for people with critical lung failure
  
  
• vital signs monitors - to provide 24/7 monitoring of heart rate and breathing function
  
  
• expansion of teleheatlh services - to provide care to people in their own homes

*List updated 8 July 2020. With the situation evolving, this list will be updated on an ongoing basis. Please check back here to keep up to date.

Like a pat on the back, like a helping hand, your donation will show our doctors and nurses the support they need to carry on in the face of this challenge. Thank you!
