Cork campaign seeks stem cell transplant unit at CUH to end Dublin/Galway travel

Communities in Cork are campaigning for a stem cell transplant facility at Cork University Hospital (CUH), citing that blood cancer patients in the south of Ireland must travel to Dublin or Galway for treatment. The campaign highlights a regional healthcare access gap, but no official commitment or funding decision has been announced. This matters as it underscores persistent inequities in specialized cancer care infrastructure in Ireland.
