A senior doctor died from coronavirus three weeks after pleading with the Prime Minister for better protection against the disease.
Dr Abdul Mabud Chowdhury, a consultant urologist, died in the early hours of Thursday morning after a 15-day fight against the virus.
On March 18, he had addressed a message to Boris Johnson asking him to "urgently" ensure that personal protective equipment (PPE) was available for "each and every NHS worker in the UK". Three days later, the 53-year-old fell ill. He died at 1am on Thursday in the intensive care unit at Queen's Hospital in Romford.
Dr Chowdhury, known to friends and family as Faisal, leaves two children and his wife, Rehana, with whom he had recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.
