Prince Charles Opens 4,000 Bed Hospital

The Prince of Wales has opened a new hospital in London which will accommodate 4,000 people.

Tha hospital, which was built in an impressive 9 days, was opened via video link today. He said he was “enormously touched” to have been given the opportunity to open the hospital. It is now the largest critical care facility in the world, and will be used to treat Coronavirus patients transferred from other intensive care units.

Prince Charles said: “It is without doubt a spectacular and almost unbelievable feat of work in every sense, from its speed of construction in just nine days to its size and the skills of those who have created it.

“An example if ever one was needed of how the impossible can be made possible and how we can achieve the unthinkable through human will and ingenuity.

“The creation of this hospital is the result of an extraordinary collaboration and partnership between NHS managers, the military and all those involved to create a centre on a scale that has never been seen before in the United Kingdom.”

The Prime Minister Boris Johnson also expressed his gratitude for those who constructed the hospital in such a short time, tweeting: “Thank you to everyone involved in building the new NHS Nightingale Hospital over the past fortnight.

“This immense effort means we will have an extra 4,000 beds to care for coronavirus patients.”
