It introduces the origins of Hong Kong?s medical education, which began in 1887 when the London Missionary Society set up the Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese. When the University of Hong Kong was established in 1911, the College became its medical faculty. The faculty has gained distinction over the years for innovative surgical techniques, for discovering the SARS virus and for its contribution to advances in medical and health sciences. This book is meant for general readers as well as medical practitioners. It is a work for anyone interested in Hong Kong or in medical education. 606 $aMedicine?History 606 $aChina?History 606 $aHistory of Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H64000 606 $aHistory of China$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715010 615 0$aMedicine?History. 615 0$aChina?History. 615 14$aHistory of Medicine. 615 24$aHistory of China. 676 $a610.951 700 $aChing$b Frank$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0764990 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300303203321 996 $a130 Years of Medicine in Hong Kong$92243031 997 $aUNINA
