Tribute to Tragic Medic: NHS Mourns Loss of Dr Prateek Joshi and Family

The National Health Service (NHS) community is mourning the loss of Dr Prateek Joshi, an eminent radiologist, who tragically perished in a plane crash in Ahmedabad along with his family. The crash, which claimed the lives of 270 individuals, left a profound impact on friends and colleagues across the UK.

Dr Joshi, who served at the Royal Derby Hospital, was traveling with his wife, Dr Komi Vyas, their daughter Miraya, and five-year-old twin sons Pradyut and Nakul. The family had been planning to settle in the UK for a new beginning.

Dr Rajeev Singh, Director for Imaging at University Hospitals of Derby and Burton, praised Dr Joshi as a joyful and talented colleague. The NHS holds a series of memorials to honor the family, with prayers taking place at Derby Hindu Temple.
