Dr. Edward Hamilton PATERSON, JP

Dr. Paterson has served continuously in Hong Kong since 1951

at first through the London Missionary Society, and later as a worker

supported by the Council for World Mission in which the Hong Kong Synod

of the Church of Christ in China is fully participating.

His work was at first with the Nethersole Hospital, of which

he became Medical Superintendent, and he then developed the major project

at Kwun Tong to create a large hospital and health centre for that area.

By his skills and perseverance the churches in Hong Kong were able to

come together, with international and local backing, to open the United

Christian Hospital at Kwun Tong. To this he added a new vision of

community health care. Dr. Paterson continues to lead the work of

these two major hospitals with great insight and devotion.
