The Public Hospitals Authority (PHA) joins the Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) in requesting that the public respect the privacy of the late Staff Nurse Chernard Thompson and her family during this difficult time. Nurse Thompson passed away at the Princess Margaret Hospital on June 21st, 2021.

The Authority has been made aware of a social media post that has been circulated, containing video images of co-workers of Nurse Thompson paying tribute in a Nurses Salute to their fallen colleague. The circulation of this post and the capture of its video content are considered a violation of Nurse Thompson and her family’s privacy and a violation of PHA policy regarding photography and video recording in public hospital facilities.

The Board of Directors, Senior Executives and the entire PHA family joins PMH in offering heartfelt condolences to the relatives, friends, and colleagues of Staff Nurse Chernard Thompson, she will be greatly missed. May her soul rest in peace.
