Every year thousands of seriously ill children from across the UK are treated at St Mary’s.
Unlike other hospitals, specialist paediatricians respond immediately to life-threatening medical emergencies and deliver outstanding care and support to patients as soon as they walk through the door.
As the birthplace of 11 Royal children, St Mary’s is also famous for its maternity care with more than 6,000 babies born at the hospital each year. In addition, its world-renowned paediatric intensive care unit looks after the sickest children that other hospitals are simply not equipped to care for.
The St Mary’s Children’s Fund aims to raise £500,000 a year for the next three years. Alongside funding from the NHS, this will enable all departments – including children’s A&E, paediatric intensive care and the neonatal unit – to continue delivering the care that every child deserves.
