What an amazing night - over $530,000 raised for the new Footscray Hospital! Thanks so much to the Venerable Thich Phuoc Tan and all of the incredible people at the Quang Minh Temple for your tireless work to make last night possible. Thanks also to all of the people at Western Health, including the CEO Prof. Russell Harrison and Chair Prof. The Hon. Jill Hennessy GAICD. All of the staff at Western Health work so hard serving our community - the funds raised last night will be put to good use! Great to be there last with leaders from the Australian Vietnamese Women's Association, Vietnamese Community Australia: Victorian Chapter , the Vietnamese Museum Australia and many other important organisations. Also Minister Natalie Suleyman MP, Cr Cuc Lam and Kim Thien Truong. Thanks to everyone who donated, who performed and who attended.
Thanks so much for supporting this event.
What a fantastic result.

4dIs this going to be a public or private hospital? If public, why should there be fundraising - should be fully funded by the Government in line with the requirement for it to provide proper health care.
