Never one to do things by halves, Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan are reportedly donating $75 million to a San Francisco hospital – believed to be the largest sum given to a public hospital by an individual.
The Facebook founder and CEO is donating the money to the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation to help fund critical equipment and technology for the public hospital’s new emergency room.
In an announcement made on Facebook (of course), Zuckerberg said: “We believe everyone deserves access to high quality health care. The General is the main public hospital in San Francisco, and it is an important safety net for our community.
"More than 70 per cent of the families it serves are uninsured or underinsured. It is open to anyone who lives, works in or visits the city.”
He said Chan had completed her medical residency at the facility as a paediatrician, an experience that had "deepened our commitment to help these families".
