Fallen heroes remembered
Hospital manager remembered and thanked those who lost their lives in the line of duty
Life Roseacres Hospital hosted a ceremony on February 16 to remember fallen colleagues, doctors and those who have lost their lives due to the Covid-19.
The event was part of a global initiative by the Life Healthcare Group. The ceremony was held at 11am across hospitals in South Africa and across Life Healthcare’s businesses in the UK and Western Europe.
“Covid-19 has taken many lives. Among the lives lost have been those of health workers, who have had crucial roles throughout the pandemic response and served at the front lines,” said Henriette Pretorius, hospital manager.
