Why Support The Alfred Hospital |
|
|
 Performing 40-50 lung transplants per year, The Alfred’s Lung Transplant Service is not only the state centre for adult lung transplantation for Victoria, it is also among the worlds busiest and most successful. This year The Alfred hospital will be established as a centre of excellence for children’s lung transplants with the creation of the first dedicated Paediatric Lung Transplantation Programme in Australia.
The Alfred hospital provides the highest level of lung transplant servicing per head of population in the world and is leading the way in research into areas such as airways pathophysiology in chronic lung rejection and it is this research that The Margaret Pratt Foundation is supporting.
