For more than 30 years the Humpty Dumpty Foundation, founded by Paul Francis OAM, Patron Johanna Griggs AM, has been helping hospitals and health services care for children by providing much needed medical equipment and initiatives that improve health outcomes. Humpty provides a Wish List giving donors complete choice of the kind and location of their support. To date, Humpty has provided medical equipment to paediatric wards, neonatal units, and maternity and emergency departments for around 500 hospitals across Australia.
The Girgensohn Foundation has chosen to donate a ‘Newborn Anne Training Manikin’ to
- Coonamble Multi Purpose Service Paediatrics, NSW
- Frankston Hospital, Women’s and Children’s Education, VIC
- Royal Darwin Hospital, NICU, NT
‘Newborn Anne’ is a lifelike baby manikin used to help doctors, nurses and midwives practice how to resuscitate a newborn. It’s specially designed to teach the most important skills needed on the first few minutes after a baby is born – helping them breathe, giving chest compressions, and working together as a team during emergencies.
