Wonderful news for patients – new state of the art Cystic Fibrosis treatment facility opens at Limerick Hospital




There was some good for Cystic Fibrosis patients today as Limerick hospital opened it’s new dedicated Cystic Fibrosis unit that will provide care for both in-patient and out-patient visits.

The new state-of-the-art building which was developed by the Tipperary, Limerick and Clare branches of Cystic Fibrosis Ireland will offer high level care for patients in the South West.

Speaking about the opening Cystic Fibrosis Ireland CEO Philip Watt said the facility was an amazing achievement: “It was built in a time when we were in an economic crisis and we knew the only way to do this was through fundraising and we got wonderful support from the JP McManus tournament.”

“To be fair to the minister he had provided extra staff to run this new ward block so we are very thankful for that.”
