Our Donations to The Queen Elizabeth Hospital
February 1, 2025

 Since 2019 we have been assisting the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Barbados with its acquisition of medical equipment. We are committed to supporting the hospital’s efforts to enhance patient care and signed an agreement to this effect with the QEH in 2018. Funds needed for the purchase of the equipment we donate are raised primarily by our annual Bring On The Spring event.
Equipment donated to the QEH to date are:

• ​2019: 8 Huntleigh Doppler Ultrasound Machines and Stands costing CAD$14,046.29 (BBD$20,512.00).
• 2020: 1 Commercial Convection Oven costing $9,082.60 (BBD$13,321.81).
• 2021: 5 Welch Allyn ECG Machines costing $29,727.68 (BBD$46.560.00).
• 2022: 1  Piccolo Blood Chemistry Analyzer and Reagent Panels costing $24,934.65 (BBD$36,944.47).
• 2023: 4 Slit Lamps and Tonometers costing $76,812.83 (BBD$111,400.00).
• 2024: 3 Patient Transport Monitors costing $63,562.22 (BBD$92,013.65).

Giving back to Barbados is why Barbados Canada Foundation exists and this commitment empowers the pursuit of our mission "To help our youth create their future and improve the lives of those in need". 

This year's Bring On The Spring will raise funds to purchase and donate 20 hospital beds to the QEH. BCF does not make cash donations to the QEH as we are restricted to making donations of medical equipment or supplies by Canada Revenue Agency.
