Former hospital director passes

Former director of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH), Neville O.R. Millington, recently passed away at the age of 70.  In expressing his condolences to the family of the former health care professional, Minister of Health Donville Inniss said that Millington should be remembered as one who was dedicated to this island’s health care system.   “Mr Millington was a model employee of the QEH, and by extension, the public health care system. During his tenure, he was part of the management team that played a major role in transforming the hospital into a modern health care facility, offering a wider range of specialist services. “I wish to express condolences to his family and to thank them for sharing him with us,”  Inniss said.  Millington started his career at the institution as a lab technologist on August 1, 1961. He moved from senior lab technologist to assistant director, then on to deputy director and was hospital director from 1991 until 1998, when he retired.  (LB/BGIS)
