ROYAL GUEST MEETS PATIENTS, STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS AT HOSPITAL

- STAFF REPORTER

WELCOME FIT FOR A KING

THE King offered words of encouragement to a cancer patient during his visit to the new Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), as well as giving an update on his own health.

Following his break in Balmoral, Charles resumed duties at Smethwick, where staff, patients and volunteers assembled to greet him as he inaugurated the 736-bed facility.

The King, who has been undergoing cancer treatment himself since last January, met with patients and staff within the hospital’s new enclosed winter garden.

He encountered one patient, Matthew Shinda, 73, from Oldbury, who shared his diagnosis of last-stage prostate cancer with Charles, whose cancer was discovered after he was admitted to the hospital due to an enlarged prostate.
