Police have issued appeals after two people went missing from separate hospitals.
Leeanda New-Hart, pictured left, was last seen at Medway Maritime Hospital, in Gillingham, in the early hours of Sunday, August 5.
She had been in the accident and emergency department, when she walked outside at about 2.35am where she was recorded on CCTV footage walking across the grounds towards the Windmill Road exit of the site.
Ms New-Hart, 38, then met two men who she appeared to have a conversation with before leaving the grounds with them.
A spokesman for Kent Police said officers are concerned as Ms New-Hart needs medication and it is believed she does not have it with her.
Ms New-Hart, who is from Maidstone, is 5ft 5in of medium build, dark short hair and is possibly wearing a multi-coloured long sleeveless dress and a multi-coloured cardigan.
In a separate appeal, officers are concerned for the welfare of a 44-year-old man who went missing from the William Harvey Hospital, Ashford, on Wednesday evening
Shaun Watson (left), who was last seen at around 9pm, is 5ft 4in and of a medium to large build with short cropped, thinning brown hair.
He has a pale complexion and he has distinctive green alien head tattoos with a black pattern on both hands. He may have some facial hair.
He was wearing a dark fleece and light coloured jogging bottoms when he went missing.
Inspector Simon Young said police were growing increasingly concerned for his welfare.
He said: "Shaun has health issues and he hasn't taken his medication with him so it is important that we find him as soon as possible.
"Although he went missing from the William Harvey Hospital in Ashford he does have links with Dover, where he is originally from, and Whitstable and Canterbury. I urge anyone who believes they may have seen Shaun to contact us."
