Edgware cleaner completes epic journey to help during crisis

A hospital cleaner who lives in Edgware has undertaken a journey of 4,500 miles back home from Nepal so that he can do his bit to help during the coronavirus crisis.

Purna Ghale, 43, was in Nepal to spend time with his family when news of the pandemic and subsequent lockdown broke and he found that his scheduled return flight to the UK had been cancelled. This left him relying on government repatriation to get home, but he is now back working as a cleaner in Northwick Park Hospital, telling the BBC that he was keen to help where he could.

Hospitals like this often rely on Stationery printers in the Edgware area that can provide them with all of the administrative Forms they need.

Ghale, who is married with two children, has been employed at this hospital as a cleaner for more than a decade and a half, but was trapped in Nepal after its capital Kathmandu was locked down when the pandemic hit. Speaking to BBC News he stated:

“There were only a handful of reported cases in Kathmandu but the lockdown is very strict in Nepal. The police and army patrol the streets and very few people are allowed outside.”


He went on to say that he was delighted to be home with his family.
