RETIREMENT OF MEDICAL OFFICER

Praise For Dr. Yue On Loyal Service To Hong Kong

Senior members of the staff of the Medical and Health Department

gathered in the canteen of Queen Elizabeth Hospital today to bid farewell

to Dr. M.Y. Yue on the eve of his retirement from the Civil Service after

serving the public of Hong Kong for more than 22 years.

Dr. the Hon. G.H. Choa, Director of Medical and Health Services,

presented Dr. Yue with an electronic calculator as a retirement gift

purchased with contributions from friends and colleagues in the department

Though small, the Director said the gift carried with it the best wishes

of all his colleagues.

Dr. Yue was first appointed in 1950. He spent the first few years

as a Medical and Health Officer in the Tai Po Jockey Club Clinic, but for

the greater part of his career he was the Medical Superintendent of many

major hospitals in Hong Kong, including the Lai Chi Kok, the Tung Wah

Group, the Kowloon, the Queen Mary and the Queen Elizabeth hospitals.

He was promoted Medical and Health Officer in 1953, and in 1959

became Senior Medical and Health Officer. In 1963, he was made a Principal

Medical and Health Officer.

Dr. Choa described Dr. Yue as "a kind and diplomatic administrator"

who had commanded the respect of all his colleagues and subordinates.
