New cystic fibrosis facilities at CUH ‘no more than the kids deserve’

“It’s no more than the kids deserve,” said Joe Browne, founder of the charity that has single-handedly transformed cystic fibrosis facilities for both children and adults attending Cork University Hospital.

Joe was at the new CF paediatric outpatient unit in CUH yesterday for the official handover of €474,000 — money that funded four CF treatment rooms, all en-suite, as well as the gym essential to children with CF who require physiotherapy.

The facilities are “state of the art”, according to consultant paediatrician Dr David Mullane.
