Our wonderful team is critical to providing safe, effective surgical and nursing care and we all have an important role to play. A $400 monthly donation allows us to sponsor a staff member, meaning the donor will receive updates throughout the month as to the valuable work the sponsored team member performed for the month. The sponsorship money does directly reflect the staff member's salary, nor does the donation itself go directly to the individual staff member, but the donation helps to offset the salary costs for the entire hospital. Our staff are truly the most important resource in providing high quality surgical care for those in need and staff sponsorships recognise the tremendous work they do every day!

Directly funding surgical care can range from smaller eye and ENT procedures to large reconstructive surgeries such as spinal surgery with implants, joint replacements and nerve and vascular microsurgery. The price quoted covers the running costs of the surgery, including consumable items, hardware, staff costs and all post-op care, both as an in-patient and follow up care. Donors will be notified when their funds are used for a surgical procedure and receive updates about the case and the procedure performed.

Ocassionally, a patient may not have the ability to cover some routine expenses, like their food or transport to CSC, or for other investigations that we can not perform at CSC, such as CT so MRI scans. In the case a patient cannot cover these expenses, we can allocate donations from our donors to cover the costs. Donors will receive a report as to when and why their donation was used.

Providing safe, high quality surgery requires a number of items to be bought regularly and maintained, such as surgical instruments, hardware, anaesthetic agents, medications, and personal protective equipment. Donations helping us fund this will receive information on what equipment was purchased, and updates on how that purchase was put to good use at CSC!

Having the infrastructure and facilities to provide high quality surgery is incredibly important. Maintaining or upgrading infrastructures may sometimes be needed, and therefore donations may be allocated toward such a project if such a need is required by CSC. Donors will be informed if their donations are allocated toward this and updates will be provided.
