'Quiet, gentle, and respectful' healthcare assistant loses his life to Covid-19
A healthcare assistant at Worcestershire Royal Hospital has died after contracting Covid-19.
62-year-old Carlos Sia died on Friday (15 May) in ITU at the hospital in which he worked, where he had been cared for over a period of several weeks after falling ill.
Mr Sia had been with the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust since 2015 and was much loved by his colleagues.
In a statment, the Trust said: 'His quiet, gentle and respectful nature, his generosity of spirit, his sense of humour and his calming influence also made him popular with patients'.
They also said: 'We have lost a valued member of our Trust family – and in Carlos’ case, the word ‘family’ has a special relevance as his wife Cindy works on Avon 2 as a Healthcare Assistant and his daughter Clair is a nurse on our Acute Stroke Unit'.
Colleagues who worked most closely with Carlos have been offered support by the Trust.
