'Miss England' Drops Title, Returns to Hospital as Doctor

"Miss England" has reportedly decided to give up her title and return to her profession in order to contribute to the fight against the new Corona virus.

Bhasha Mukherjee, has said that she will put the "Beauty Crown" aside so she can return to her position as a doctor during the "Covid-19" epidemic.

The beauty queen explained her decision, saying: "I am a trained doctor, and my services will be more beneficial in the hospital," according to media reports.

Mukherjee has returned to Britain after participating in one of the charitable activities in India, to join her colleagues at "Pilgrim" Hospital in Boston, eastern England's Lincolnshire.

The 24-year-old had been in India for four weeks on behalf of Coventry Mercia Lions Club, a development and community charity for which she was ambassador. They visited schools with donations of stationery, and also gave money to a home for abandoned girls.

But as the coronavirus situation worsened back home in the UK, Mukherjee was getting messages from former colleagues at her old hospital, telling her how hard the situation was for them.

She indicated that while the work she was doing in India was important, she felt that her time and skills would be of greater benefit to the British National Health Service Authority during the outbreak of the new Coronavirus.

Mukherjee took a career break as a junior doctor after competing in the Miss World pageant in December 2019. Mukherjee represented England at the pageant after winning Miss England.

Invited to be an ambassador for several charities, Mukherjee had planned to hang up her stethoscope and focus on humanitarian work until August this year.

"I was invited to Africa, to Turkey, then to India, Pakistan and several other Asian countries to be an ambassador for various charity work," she told CNN.
