Dr Abdul Mabud Chowdhury, a consultant urologist at Homerton hospital in Hackney east London, died after spending 15 days in Queens hospital, Romford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month he wrote a Facebook message to Boris Johnson outlining the urgent need for PPE for frontline staff and calling for testing for healthcare workers to be fast-tracked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He wrote: \u201cDear and respectable prime minister Mr Boris Johnson, Please ensure urgently PPE for each and every NHS health worker.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He told Johnson that healthcare workers \u201care in direct contact with patients\u201d and have a \u201chuman right like others to live in this world disease-free with our family and children\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philip Glanville, the Labour mayor of Hackney, hailed Chowdhury as a \u201chero\u201d who died serving the borough. In a tweet he added: \u201cI hope his death wasn\u2019t as a result of continuing issues around testing & PPE, but it raises Qs. A sobering reminder of the lives being lost to keep us safe & the contribution BAME staff make.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chowdhury, who was born in Bangladesh, was 53 and had no underlying health conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Muslim Doctors Association said it was \u201cdeeply saddened\u201d by his death. In a Facebook post it said: \u201cHe leaves behind his wife and two children. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
