Without unit, CF patients will continue to suffer

THE vacated 5B Ward in Cork University Hospital has been identified as the location for the in-patient beds for adults with cystic fibrosis.

According to the management and the lead adult and paediatric consultants of CUH, Build4Life is the only charity engaged with them to develop cystic fibrosis facilities in the hospital.

They have told us that the cost of developing these life changing isolated ensuite bedrooms is €2,300,000.
