Profile
King Edward VII’s Hospital, also known as KEVII Hospital, is a healthcare provider based in the United Kingdom. The organisation delivers medical services to patients requiring inpatient and outpatient care. It operates as a hospital offering clinical treatment and support to individuals seeking medical attention. Its primary function is to provide diagnosis, treatment, and ongoing care for a range of health conditions. The hospital serves the local community and patients referred from other healthcare facilities. As a medical institution, it adheres to national healthcare standards and regulations.
In October 2023, the hospital experienced a cyber attack that resulted in unauthorized access to its information systems. The breach allowed a third party to copy confidential patient data, including doctors' letters and pathology reports containing health information. No financial data was reported as being taken during the incident. The hospital stated that the attack was contained quickly and that the vast majority of patients were unaffected by the breach. A small subset of individuals whose data may have been exposed were notified and offered identity monitoring services. The incident is under investigation by the National Cyber Security Centre and police authorities.
