Eastbourne twin doctors appear in BBC article about Covid-19
Two former Eastbourne students have been featured in a BBC news article about NHS staff at the start of their medical careers who are treating patients suffering with Covid-19.
Twin sisters Rita and Gita Deb, who went to St Catherine’s College, are junior doctors at Ealing Hospital in London, one of the worst affected boroughs in the city.
Deputy headteacher at St Catherine’s College Nigel Jewell said, “I know I speak for everyone at the school when I say how proud we all are of Rita and Gita during a time of almost unimaginable intensity and pressure in our hospitals.

“I’ve no doubt our current students will be inspired by Rita and Gita and that they will both be outstanding doctors.”
