Aika is an exceptional Senior Staff Nurse in Gynaecology, known not only for her clinical expertise but also for her compassion and dedication to patient care.

We received an overwhelming number of nominations from her patients, many of whom expressed deep gratitude for the outstanding care they experienced at The Portland under Aika’s guidance. Their comments highlighted her reassuring presence, clear communication, and the way she goes above and beyond to ensure every patient feels valued and cared for.
Words such as “kind,” “attentive,” “supportive,” and “exceptional” appeared repeatedly in the feedback, painting a picture of a nurse who truly makes a difference. When asked how it felt to receive this award, Aika shared: "This award may have my name on it, but it belongs to every nurse who works tirelessly—often unseen and unpraised. You are the heartbeat of this place, and I’m proud to stand among you."
