After two years of the Greg Mortimer mission we had an emotional surprise, the visit of Karl Shurr, Annie McCluskey, Rosmary and Graham Paget (passengers of Greg Mortimer cruise that received medical assistance at the Hospital), who returned to thank us for the professional, warm and human treatment they received:
“I returned here to Montevideo and one of the important things was to return to this Hospital. (...) The attention I received was exceptional and it was because of the attention of the Hospital staff that I survived COVID. (...) they genuine interest in my health made the difference in whether I survived or not. I couldn't recognize anyone, but I could see the kindness and the way they behaved with me, they were very generous. It was a time when nobody knew much about COVID, they were actually doing the best they could, and the best they could was very good.” commented Karl Shurr.
