First baby born at Manchester hospital on NHS' 75th birthday

This is the the first baby born at a Manchester hospital on the 75th anniversary of the NHS.

Little Alma Engstrom came into the world at 1.45am on Wednesday (July 5) at Wythenshawe Hospital. She was the first baby born at any hospital managed by the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.

It comes as July 5 marks a remarkable 75 years of the NHS, after it was founded in 1948. It was the first free universal health system to be available to all - and now treats over one million people each and every day in England.
