How you can help save a child’s life

 

One in 50 NSW children will use NETS sometime during their childhood. This is not surprising when you consider that of nearly 200 hospitals in the region only ten have intensive care facilities for sick newborns and only three have intensive care for kids. For regional and rural areas, the chance of using NETS is even higher - 1 in 38.

NETS covers an area of 815,810km2 across rural and metropolitan NSW and the ACT providing a lifesaving service. Each year NETS retrieves over 1,600 critically ill babies and kids, coordinates over 800 transfers, provides over 320 consultations to hospitals and tends to over 2,700 calls about emergency cases.

Our dedicated team of doctors and nurses provide expert clinical advice, clinical co-ordination, stabilisation and emergency treatment and retrieval for very sick children 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

Although NETS is funded by NSW Health through Sydney West Area Health Service for staffing costs we rely on community support to maintain and renew the specialised intensive care equipment that we use.

Thanks to community support, it is possible for NETS to make that extra difference and continue our lifesaving service.

You can help save a child’s life by donating to NETS.
