Why we fund research
The Prince of Wales Hospital Foundation invests in life-saving research projects to drive better patient experience and outcomes. We are proud to have invested in hundreds of medical research projects. Hospital-based research is crucial as it enables continuous data collection, fosters a culture of innovation and has immediate impact on patients. Taking place in real-world clinical environments, the research we help deliver ensures findings are quickly and directly applied.
Translation to patient treatment and care
The research projects supported by the Foundation directly enhance patient care.
Supports individual patient care needs
Every patient visiting the Hospital is unique, and our research efforts support the delivery of tailored care.
Faster and more effective than off-campus research
Research outcomes can be quickly translated into patient care using the latest technologies.
Greater collaboration opportunities
Collaboration among specialists promotes a comprehensive approach to researching better treatments.
“The Foundation fills a gap where we need it the most in healthcare - by providing support for research and medical advancements.”
