Ke Lin: the doctor who carried Kiang Wu Hospital into the modern era

Ke Lin

First director of Macau's Kiang Wu Hospital. Arriving in 1935, he served Kiang Wu as a volunteer Western-medicine doctor and from 1946 as its first director, modernising a traditional charitable hospital. Across seventeen years of practice in Macau he became one of the most consequential physicians — and patriotic community figures — of the modern era.
