Research Saves Lives
Thanks to researchers working in Princess Alexandra
laboratories today, we live in a world of increasingly
sophisticated health care with better and more
effective treatments, life saving medical procedures
and advanced rehabilitation therapies.
Ongoing medical research helps us to:
- Understand disease
- Develop new treatments
- Find the most effective way of using available treatments, and
- Discover ways of preventing disease occurring in the first place.
Countless people owe their lives, and quality of life,
to the ground-breaking research conducted at the
Princess Alexandra Hospital and proudly supported by the PA Research Foundation.
The funds raised by the PA Research Foundation directly benefit the Princess Alexandra Hospital's groundbreaking research projects in areas such as heart disease, prostate cancer, skin cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, immunology, kidney disease, liver disease, transplantation, spinal injury and cervical cancers. "As a recipient of funding from the PA Research Foundation for many years, I can honestly say that their support helped in our successful search for a cervical cancer vaccine. It can take on average twenty years to make a breakthrough but the results make the investment of time and funds so worthwhile. Who can put a price on the hundreds of thousands of lives that will be saved in the future thanks to this vaccine developed through tireless research? I urge you to give your serious consideration to supporting the PA Research Foundation. It could end up saving a life." Professor Ian Frazer
