British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson has thanked the NHS for saving his life, saying his stay in intensive care with coronavirus could have gone either way.
In an Easter Sunday message, the prime minister who will not immediately return to work as he recovers from Covid-19 at his country residence, Chequers, said his stay at St Thomas’ Hospital had shown him the pressure the NHS is under. But he said the UK will win the battle against coronavirus, because “our NHS is the beating heart of this country – it is unconquerable, it is powered by love”.
He added: “I have seen the personal courage not just of the doctors and nurses but of everyone – the cleaners, the cooks, the health care workers of every description. Physios, radiographers, pharmacists – who have kept coming to work, kept putting themselves in harm’s way, kept risking this deadly virus. It is thanks to that courage, that devotion, that duty and that love that our NHS has been unbeatable.”
Mr Johnson thanked the staff at St Thomas’ Hospital for the “brilliant care.”
