In a heartwarming twist of fate, a young doctor has recently qualified and started his career at the same hospital where both of his parents work. Aneesh Ninan, 24, decided to join his parents at West Suffolk Hospital as a junior doctor, driven by a desire to be close to his family and friends.
Aneesh’s mother, Mini, 57, has been serving as an ICU nurse at the hospital, while his father, Mathew, 60, has been working as a catering assistant. Together, they have a combined 35 years of dedicated service in the healthcare industry.
Reflecting on their son’s decision to join them at West Suffolk Hospital, Mini shared, “My husband and I were overjoyed when we found out that Aneesh had successfully applied here. After six years of hard work, he chose to come to the same hospital as us. It’s truly a testament to the warm and welcoming environment here that our son wanted to be a part of it.”
As Mini continues her invaluable care for coronavirus patients and Mathew ensures that both staff and patients are well-fed, their son Aneesh has embarked on his own medical journey. Graduating from Imperial College London, Aneesh carefully considered his options and knew deep down that being close to his loved ones was important to him.
When asked about his decision, Aneesh explained, “I wanted to apply somewhere that was close to my family and friends. Growing up in East Anglia, it made perfect sense to choose West Suffolk Hospital. It’s even more reassuring to know that the hospital is highly regarded within the region, as confirmed by the General Medical Council’s survey of training doctors. I am thrilled to take the first steps of my career here.”
Craig Black, the interim chief executive at the hospital, recognized the valuable contributions that Mini and Mathew have made over the years, especially during the challenging times of the Covid-19 pandemic. He extended a warm welcome to Aneesh, emphasizing the hospital’s reputation as a friendly and welcoming place to work.
This heartwarming story showcases the power of family and the bonds that can be forged in the healthcare profession. It serves as a reminder that the values of compassion, dedication, and unity are at the core of providing exceptional care to patients. West Suffolk Hospital continues to be a place where families are not only nurtured but also grow stronger together.
