Cronulla Lions Club Delivers Life-Saving Humidicrib to Sutherland Hospital

The Cronulla Lions Club has proudly delivered a state-of-the-art Babyleo TN500 Humidicrib to the Sutherland Hospital Maternity Unit, ensuring the best possible care for premature babies.

This vital piece of neonatal equipment, valued at $65,000, was made possible through a collaborative effort with Oatley, Lugano, Kogarah, Blacktown Ponds, and Sydney Host Lions Clubs, along with a generous $15,000 grant from the Australian Lions Foundation.

Simone Payn, Nursing Midwifery and Operations Director at Sutherland Hospital, expressed her gratitude, highlighting the importance of the Humidicrib in providing critical support to premature newborns. It protects premature babies so they can grow, using a combination of three heat sources, while also allowing for quick and comfortable access for medical staff.

Remarkably, this new Humidicrib replaces one that was originally donated by the Cronulla Lions Club a decade ago and had reached the end of its service life. The club’s continued commitment to improving neonatal care ensures that the region’s most vulnerable infants receive the best start in life.

The Cronulla Lions Club remains dedicated to addressing local community needs through various projects, particularly those focused on children’s and babies’ health.
