Areema Nasreen, a 36-year-old staff nurse died in the hospital where she had worked for 16 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mother-of-three, who had no underlying health issues, developed coronavirus symptoms on March 13, whilst on annual leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was thought to have rallied but relapsed and died shortly after midnight at Walsall Manor Hospital in the West Midlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her best friend Rubi Aktar wrote on Facebook: \u201cMy heart is broken. She fought and fought but Allah decided to take her. \u201cShe was the most loveliest, genuine person you could ever meet, she went above and beyond for everyone she met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t believe I will not see your smile again. With your support, motivation and inspiration I am the nurse that I am today and I hope I can do you proud Areema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou had so much to live for, I am sorry you didn\u2019t get to see your kids grow up and I\u2019m sorry that you didn\u2019t get to complete your career.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her sister, Kazeema, said the family was \u201cheartbroken\u201d but praised the hospital staff who had gone \u201cabove and beyond\u201d, according to BirminghamLive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mrs Nasreem qualified as a staff nurse in January last year and had been working on the hospital\u2019s Acute Medical Unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She had revealed she hoped to encourage more people from Muslim backgrounds into nursing, saying: \u201cI would like to think that I can inspire others. I cry every morning because I am so happy that I have finally realised my dream of becoming a nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would like to think that I could inspire others; particularly within Muslim communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
