The RBWH Foundation is the only charity linked to the Royal Brisbane & Women's Hospital - Queensland's largest hospital and the largest teaching hospital in the Southern Hemisphere. Our key purpose is to raise money to fund the world-class clinical research conducted at the Hospital, in order to provide better treatment methods and improve patient outcomes. The RBWH is particularly recognised as research leaders in the fields of premature babies, burns, motor neurone disease, inflammatory bowel disease, bowel, lung and other cancers, and ageing in women. The RBWH Foundation believes that research saves lives everyday, and the next life it saves could be yours.
The RBWH Foundation is not government funded, and relies on the generosity of private donors, business and community groups to enable our researchers to continue their life-saving work.
