'Remember him for the kind and compassionate hero he was'

As the nation applauded the NHS last night, we remembered in particular the health service professionals who have lost their lives in the fight against coronavirus. Tributes have been paid to Dr Abdul Mabud Chowdhury, a consultant at the Homerton Hospital in east London who died on Wednesday after testing positive for Covid 19. Back on the 18th March he had posted an urgent appeal on Facebook to the Prime Minister that every NHS health worker should have protective equipment - PPE. Intisar Chowdhury is Dr Chowdhury's son.
