About us
Luma Foundation
Our aim is to fund medical equipment that is necessary to deliver optimum care to children in Yorkshire's hospitals, when such equipment is not available through NHS sources.
We also provide part-funding to access 'state of the art' technologies/equipment, not otherwise available in Yorkshire which are outside NHS provision.
Equipment Needed
Dr. Naveed has identified two pieces of equipment with the potential to transform training for aspiring surgeons at Leeds Children’s Hospital. These innovations will not only attract and retain top medical talents but also enable them to perform a greater number of procedures, leading to shorter hospital stays for patients.
