A letter from Dr Wu

20 Dec 2024

We may not know each other personally, but I feel we’re connected through a shared love for our Far North Queensland community. I’m Dr Roxanne Wu, Clinical Director of Surgery at Cairns Hospital.
Every day, I see firsthand the incredible strength and resilience that defines our loca community. FNQ isn’t just where I work – it’s my home. That’s why I’m reaching out to you today.
Our dedicated team of doctors, nurses and support staff works tirelessly to provide the best care possible. But sometimes, even the best efforts aren’t enough without the right tools.
Bring DaNi, a world-class surgical robot, to FNQ would be a game-changer, giving every patient access to advanced care, right here in our community. No more long journeys, no more uncertainty about getting the care they deserve.
It’s about creating a future where no one has to choose between critical care and staying close to family. Help us to help you!
DaNi is more than just a fancy piece of technology; it’s hope. Hope for faster recoveries, less pain, and a future where no one has to travel hundreds of kilometres for world-class surgery. Imagine what this could mean for our community.
Every dollar takes us closer:
Together, let’s create a future where everyone in FNQ has access to the best care.
Please donate today and be part of this transformation.
