Miss England 2019 Bhasha Mukherjee sets aside her beauty queen crown to serve as a doctor during the coronavirus pandemic in the United Kingdom. Full story:
it was in early March 2020 that the 24-year-old beauty queen decided to pause her humanitarian work in India, where she had spent 4 weeks as the ambassador of Coventry Mercia Lions Club, a community charity which donated supplies to schools and money to a home for abandoned young girls.Mukherjee heard from her former co-workers at the Pilgrim Hospital about how bad the situation was back home. Mukherjee told hospital management she would be returning to work.
"When you are doing all this humanitarian work abroad, you're still expected to put the crown on, get ready... look pretty. I wanted to come back home. I wanted to come and go straight to work," she told CNN in an interview. "I felt a sense of this is what I'd got this degree for and what better time to be part of this particular sector than now. It was incredible the way the whole world was celebrating all key workers, and I wanted to be one of those, and I knew I could help," she added.
Mukherjee arrived in the UK on Wednesday, April 1, after finding a flight from India to Frankurt, and then to London, with the help of the British High Commission in Kolkata, India. She will first complete two weeks of self-isolation before resuming her work at the Pilgrim Hospital. Her specialization lies in respiratory medicine.– Rappler.com
