(from website = The UCC Surgeon Noonan Society is a registered charity (CHY 10103) whose aim is to provide medical aid to Africa, through fundraising and volunteerism. Surgeon Noonan is a well-established society, founded in 1977 to commemorate the late Mr Tim Noonan, a UCC Medical School surgeon.The Charity is run voluntarily by 4th year medical students from UCC. Each year, our goal is to raise over €100,000, all of which goes directly towards underfunded rural hospitals in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The money raised by our fundraising is brought to the hospitals by medical students each summer. Each June, over forty students travel to hospitals in Ghana, Tanzania, Malawi and Zambia, bringing with them much needed medical supplies and financial aid. These students then work voluntarily in the hospitals for four weeks= from the charity's website)
