Information taken from hbot.im:
“The Charity has purchased, installed and commissioned a new hyperbaric chamber into the re modelled peel road facility in Douglas.
We are now recruiting the professional team necessary and in addition the final phase of fundraising has commenced to provide our patients the hyperbaric medicine service that this island so very much needs.
