Support Humpty to help sick kids in hospital
For more than 30 years, the Humpty Dumpty Foundation and its supporters have provided life saving healthcare initiatives and medical equipment for sick children in around 500 hospitals and health services across Australia.
To date, Humpty has raised more than $90 million, provided thousands of pieces of medical equipment and funded many healthcare initiatives and services to Paediatric Wards, Neonatal Units, Maternity and Emergency Departments across the country.

ASCOM HAND HELD DEVICES, Monash Children's Hospital, VIC
$180,000.00
This Australian-first project for Monash Newborn focuses on creating quieter and less stressful environments for premature and critically ill babies by supporting innovative technology that allows nurses to carry handheld vital signs monitors.
This technology enables them to receive critical alerts on their handsets and centrally at the staff station allowing for a quieter and calmer environment at the bedside for the patient and their families.
Monash urgently needs support to upgrade their handsets to integrate with their new state-of-the-art integrated information system, as their current devices will be reaching their end of life and will no longer be supported by the provider.

ELLA Immunoassay Machine System, The Royal Children's Hospital, VIC
$180,000.00
The ELLA Immunoassay Machine will be used at the Immunology Lab at Royal Children's Hospital, a NATA accredited diagnostic laboratory & provides the most comprehensive diagnostic testing for rare diseases such as macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) which both attack a young child's immune system resulting in organ damage. In the last year, the lab has conducted over 500 tests in order to detect these diseases in young children and babies.
This is an Australian-first project which will enable the lab to conduct more even more tests across the country and help detect rare diseases in young children resulting in quicker diagnosis and treatment for the patients and families involved. This has been endorsed by the Histiocyte Society which is an international medical organisation committed to advancing knowledge about histiocytic (a type of white blood cell) disorders and improving outcomes for patients.
