Gosford Hospital’s emergency and neurology departments have received a significant boost in diagnostic technology thanks to the support of Ourimbah Auxiliary, which funded the purchase of a fundus camera.
The camera provides high-resolution imaging which greatly enhances the hospital’s diagnostic capacity for patients presenting with issues with their vision or suspected intracranial pressure (increased pressure in the brain).
Members of the Auxiliary recently visited the emergency department, where Dr Robbie McMahon, Head of the Emergency Department, demonstrated the newly purchased fundus camera and explained its clinical benefits.
“This non-invasive technology allows us to capture detailed images of the eye, which can be critical in diagnosing eye conditions as well as neurological conditions quickly and accurately,” McMahon said.
“We’re incredibly grateful to Ourimbah Auxiliary for helping us improve our diagnostic capabilities.”
The donation reflects the ongoing commitment of Ourimbah Auxiliary to support the region’s hospitals and improve care for the Central Coast community.
