At the end of March, the Hospital held an event to celebrate our staff’s outstanding achievements and to thank them for their sacrificial service. We wanted to recognise the collective effort over this past year of our doctors, nurses, support staff, technicians, maintenance, administration, cleaning, laundry, pastoral care team. All hospital departments have worked so hard, often at a high cost to themselves and their families. As Martin Luther King, Jr once said, “We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.”

Without a doubt, our staff, from whatever part of the organisation, are the heroes of this generation. They are the heart and soul in the fight against COVID.
