EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a significant moment in history - the opening of the AIDS ward at Middlesex Hospital on 19th January 1987. In the image, we see Sister Jacqui Elliott, only 26 years old at the time, standing proudly beside her new charge - the Broderip Ward. This photograph, taken on 16th December 1987 by Nigel Wright, serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating impact that HIV/AIDS had during this era. The Broderip Ward symbolizes hope and compassion in the face of an unprecedented health crisis. As one of London's first dedicated AIDS wards, it provided specialized medical treatment to those suffering from this life-threatening illness. The ward became a sanctuary for patients battling with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), offering them much-needed care and support. This image not only showcases Sister Jacqui's dedication but also represents countless healthcare professionals who tirelessly fought against stigma and discrimination surrounding HIV/AIDS during this tumultuous period. It stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment to providing quality medical care and comfort to those affected by this devastating virus. Nigel Wright's photograph encapsulates both the challenges faced by individuals living with HIV/AIDS and society's response towards addressing their needs. It serves as a historical document reminding us of how far we have come in terms of medical advancements and social awareness regarding HIV/AIDS since then.
