The pumps remain with the patient from the Emergency Department to whichever specialised ward they are moved to, such as cardiology, surgical, oncology, or medical units.

Once the individual no longer requires the device, it returns to the Emergency Department for use by the next patient.

The hospital’s Senior Biomedical Technician Malcolm Schweitzer said the Chapmans’ generosity would deliver improved health care to countless patients over the devices’ lifespan.

“These infusion pumps are a critical tool in modern healthcare, enabling us to deliver precise treatments efficiently.

“Donations like this directly benefit our patients and support our healthcare professionals in delivering the highest standard of care,” Mr Schweitzer said.

Rob and Margaret Chapman are well-known for their support of CHHC, with a long history of donating essential medical equipment across various departments.

“It’s incredibly rewarding to support our local hospital and ensure that its dedicated healthcare teams have the tools they need to provide excellent care,” Mr Chapman said.

“We’re delighted to know this donation will positively impact so many lives.”

“We hope this equipment will continue to benefit patients for years to come, improving outcomes for those who need it most,” Mrs Chapman added.

“Supporting our community in this way is an honour,” she said.
