Editor’s note
Dear Colleagues,
END OF AN ERA; LONDON BRIDGE HAS FALLEN
Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II passed on Thursday 8th September, 2022 aged 96 at Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland marking the end of a 70 year reign, the longest in the History of the British monarchy. Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, ascended to the throne and became Queen in 1952, at the age of 25, while on a safari in Kenya, following the death of her father King George VI. Colleagues, the Kenyatta National Hospital that we know today, started out as King George VI Hospital, and within Administration Block lies a plaque that was unveiled by H.M Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother 17th February, 1959 to commemorate her visit to the Hospital. KNH Fraternity therefore joins the world in mourning Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II as we pray that God Comforts His Majesty King Charles III, The Royal Family and the British people.
Fare Thee Well The Queen!!!
