KIMS Hospital is deeply saddened by the recent cases of meningitis at the University of Kent. Our thoughts are with the individuals, families and communities impacted. We encourage anyone who believes they may have been exposed to follow official advice from UKHSA and NHS Kent and Medway, including attending the designated antibiotic clinics where eligible, calling NHS 111 if they are worried, and seeking urgent medical attention via 999 or A&E if symptoms develop.
