Mallinckrodt plc, a leading pharmaceutical company, today marked the donation of £100,000 to Ashford and St. Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust at St Peter’s Hospital in Chertsey.
Aileen McLeish, Chairman of Ashford and St. Peter’s Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust thanked Mallinckrodt for the donation, which will help support the important work undertaken by the Trust’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
“On behalf of the Trust, I would like to thank Mallinckrodt for their extremely generous donation and for their interest in Ashford and St Peter’s Hospitals. We are always keen to forge positive links with the local business community and look forward to developing our relationship with Mallinckrodt further in the future.”
