Statement from Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust
Ben Travis, Chief Executive, said: “Sadly, I can confirm that Esther Akinsanya and Grace Kungwengwe, two members of staff, have passed away. Many colleagues will have worked with Esther and Grace, and our thoughts are with their families, loved ones and colleagues during this desperately sad time. We have set up a fundraising page to support the families of colleagues who have died: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/LGTInmemory.”
Notes
Esther Akinsanya passed way in intensive care at Queen Elizabeth Hospital on 15 April and Grace Kungwengwe passed away in intensive care at University Hospital Lewisham on 19 April. Both were healthcare assistants. We ask that the media respects the privacy of their families during this difficult time.
