Consultant didn't see his family for three months and missed out on his newborn's early days to help Covid patients
hereHaider was among those who sacrificed time with his family so he could dedicate himself to Covid patients, first living in a hotel, and later alone at the family home in Hale for months on end.He was able to spend just a few days with his youngest child after he was born in April, before his wife Rasha Al-Talib and their three children went away to stay with her parents and he went back to work.Even when he himself fell ill with Covid, he declined Rasha's offer to come home to care for him, to avoid passing the virus on. Now Rasha has nominated Haider as one of our Covid Heroes.
