Little Alma Engstrom was born at 1.45am at Wythenshawe Hospital
Little Alma Engstrom came into the world at 1.45am on Wednesday at Wythenshawe Hospital. She was the first baby born at any hospital managed by the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.
Amanda Pritchard, chief executive of the NHS in England, said that the three-quarters of a century since the institution's creation was an opportunity to 'reflect' on the hard work of staff while looking forward to the future of the NHS. “The history of the NHS is one of change and innovation, so while striving to meet the needs of today’s patients, we are also making decisions to ensure we adapt to meet the needs of the next generation," she said.
“This milestone 75th anniversary is an opportunity for us to reflect on their hard work and our achievements but to look to the future of the health service too."
