Migrant health professionals saved my life

Migrant health professionals saved my life

DEAR News Of The Area,

RECENTLY I spent seven days in hospital at Coffs Harbour Health Campus recovering from COVID.

The ward doctor, the specialist doctor and all my nurses bar two were new Australians.

We are fortunate to have newcomers in Australia and Coffs Harbour.

My treatment and care were of the highest standard and, because of my age and multiple comorbidities, there is little doubt these people saved my life.

My wife and I are eternally grateful for their professionalism, expertise, service and commitment.

Regards,

Alph Williams,

Red Rock.
