April 6, 2021 – The Black Opal magazine, a respected publication that honors individuals that make significant contributions to society, such as supporting families, becoming humanitarians, advocates, and others who genuinely enjoy giving back to society has just announced Dr Protasia Torkington as her International Queen of Queens Honoree.

Torkington was born in South Africa and trained as a nurse and midwife before moving to the United Kingdom to pursue specialist paediatric training at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, where she worked as a ward sister before returning to school. She has tried to have an impact on the health care systems in the United Kingdom and the United States since then. Her study of inequality in England’s National Health Service is a huge achievement because it provides insight into the experiences of black people in the UK. She has also made important contributions to the US health-care system.

I found that it did not have a National Health Care System like England”FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

My mother, being a white woman in Liverpool with five black kids, had it very hard. And being black inFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Liverpool in those days was always bad.
