Kung Yee Medical School and Hospital
The Kung Yee Medical School and Hospital in Guangzhou (then called Canton), China was founded in 1908.
Its hospital building with 60 beds was completed in 1911.
Unlike many missionary-sponsored institutions of the time, its directors were all Chinese, and only 4 of the 24 members of the faculty were not Chinese. As of 1913, there were 122 male and 37 female students.[1]
Dr. Li Shu Fan was the head of Kung Yee from 1923-1924.
In 1925, the Kung Yee institutions were taken over by the government and became the Medical Department of the 1st Chung Shan University, which became the Sun Yat-sen University Medical School.[2]
