The '''HKU Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine''', branded as '''HKUMed''' and formerly named as the '''Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong''', is the [[medical school]] of the [[University of Hong Kong]], a public research university.
The school consists of several schools and departments that provide tertiary programmes in [[medicine]], [[nursing]], [[pharmacy]] and [[Chinese medicine]]. English is the [[medium of instruction]] for all classes, while Chinese is retained for the teaching of Chinese medicine. It is located several kilometres away from the university's main campus and is near the [[Queen Mary Hospital (Hong Kong)|Queen Mary Hospital]], which is its main teaching facility and research base. Founded in 1887, it is also one of the oldest western medical schools in the [[Far East]].
HKUMed is the older of the two medical faculties in Hong Kong, the other one being the [[CUHK Faculty of Medicine|Faculty of Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong]]. Together, they are the sole two [[university|tertiary institutions]] offering medical and pharmacy education and research in the city.
==History==
The [[London Missionary Society]] founded the '''Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese''' in 1887.<ref name="const">{{cite book |author=Dafydd Emrys Evans |title=Constancy of Purpose: An Account of the Foundation and History of the Hong Kong College of Medicine and the Faculty of Medicine of The University of Hong Kong, 1887-1987 |year=1987 |publisher=Hong Kong University Press | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iJnW0ZtogdwC |isbn=9789622091948 }}</ref> [[Kai Ho]], [[James Cantlie]], [[Patrick Manson]] and [[Gregory Paul Jordan|G.

Having served in the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs as a medical officer for 18 years, he took up private practice in Hong Kong from 1883 to 1889. [[Kai Ho|Sir Kai Ho Kai]] was also a member of the Chinese elite in [[colonial Hong Kong]].<ref name="Sweeting">Sweeting, Anthony. (1990). Education in Hong Kong, pre-1841 to 1941.

Chinese society at the time was not quite ready for western medicine; as a result, many of the college's medical graduates had difficulty finding employment.<ref name="HKU" />
The college was merged to become the medical school of HKU in 1911,{{Cn|date=September 2024}} one of the university's first faculties.{{Cn|date=September 2024}} The establishment of the [[Queen Mary Hospital (Hong Kong)|Queen Mary Hospital]] in 1937 brought the faculty a major clinical teaching and research base.{{Cn|date=September 2024}} However, the [[Japanese occupation of Hong Kong|Japanese occupation of the city]] during the [[Second World War]] disrupted teaching, and many staff and students were imprisoned.{{Cn|date=September 2024}} Following the end of the war, it reopened and soon became an important training centre of clinicians in the city, with many departments and schools in healthcare and medical sciences opened.
Important milestones of the medical school include being the world's first team to successfully identify the [[SARS-CoV-1|SARS coronavirus]], the [[causative agent]] of the [[2002–2004 SARS outbreak]], on 21 March 2003.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.who.int/csr/don/2003_03_27b/en/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030411125517/http://www.who.int/csr/don/2003_03_27b/en/|url-status=dead|archive-date=11 April 2003|title= WHO-SARS Update 12 (SARS virus close to conclusive identification, new tests for rapid diagnosis ready soon)|quote=Scientists at Hong Kong University had previously announced, on 21 March, the isolation of a new virus that was strongly suspected to be the causative agent of SARS.

== Controversies ==
=== Criticism of Prince of Wales hospital by dean during SARS epidemic ===
During the [[2002–2004 SARS outbreak|2003 SARS outbreak]] in Hong Kong, the faculty's dean, Lam Shiu-kum, publicly criticised the [[Prince of Wales Hospital]] (PWH) and [[Faculty of Medicine, Chinese University of Hong Kong|its associated medical school]] of [[Chinese University of Hong Kong|The Chinese University of Hong Kong]] for their alleged poor handling of the outbreak. As PWH was at the centre of the outbreak, Lam wrote in a letter to the [[South China Morning Post]] (SCMP):<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=More than 100 professors and doctors of the Prince of Wales Hospital and its SARS team |date=2003-04-15 |title=The virus in our worst health crisis is still an enigma |url=https://www.scmp.com/article/412521/virus-our-worst-health-crisis-still-enigma |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240611203004/https://www.scmp.com/article/412521/virus-our-worst-health-crisis-still-enigma |archive-date=2024-06-11 |access-date=2024-06-11 |website=[[South China Morning Post]]}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{cite news |date=15 April 2003 |title=HK doctors in the spotlight |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/2950127.stm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121112071002/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/2950127.stm |archive-date=2012-11-12 |access-date=28 June 2013 |work=[[BBC]]}}</ref>
{{Quote|text="Why was the index of suspicion so low in Hong Kong, the acuity of judgment so raw, the sense of infection control so weak and the mechanism for instituting isolation so rusty? It took the Prince of Wales two weeks to decide to ban visitors to its wards."<ref name=":0" />}}
In response via a letter to the SCMP, more than one hundred doctors from the PWH refuted his claims and called for unity. They wrote that they found it "objectionable and distressing to be subjected to such accusations" and that such criticisms had been "very damaging to the morale of the frontline staff" at the hospital, adding that they had been under extreme stress for more than four weeks.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":0" />
[[Lo Wing-lok]], president of [[The Hong Kong Medical Association]], said that "this type of mud-slinging was unhelpful" and that "we did not have the benefit of hindsight when we were facing this catastrophe".<ref name=":0" /> Similarly, Ho Shiu-wei, Chief Executive of the [[Hospital Authority]], said that Lam's accusations were easy in hindsight.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Ho |first=William |date=2003-04-11 |title=Why medical schools must work together in the Sars crisis |url=https://www.scmp.com/article/412117/why-medical-schools-must-work-together-sars-crisis |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240611210029/https://www.scmp.com/article/412117/why-medical-schools-must-work-together-sars-crisis |archive-date=2024-06-11 |access-date=2024-06-11 |website=[[South China Morning Post]]}}</ref> Both attributed the criticisms to the long-standing rivalry between the two medical schools and their teaching hospitals, and called for solidarity and collaboration.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":2" />
===Renaming of the faculty===
As one of the founding faculties of the University of Hong Kong, the Faculty of Medicine changed to its present name after securing a pledge of a HK$1 billion donation from businessman and philanthropist [[Li Ka-shing]] under the funding of [[Li Ka Shing Foundation]]. The renaming was objected to by many students and prominent alumni of the faculty.<ref name="the_scientist_2005">{{cite web |last=Parry |first=Jane |date=23 May 2005 |title=Concern over renaming at HKU |url=https://www.the-scientist.com/news-analysis/concern-over-renaming-at-hku-48738 |access-date=15 December 2020 |work=www.the-scientist.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=24 May 2005 |title= |script-title=zh:港大校友斥徐立之賣醫學院「神主牌」 |trans-title=University of Hong Kong alumni criticise [[Lap-Chee Tsui|Tsui Lap-chee]] for selling out [the] medical school's "[[spirit tablet]]" |url=http://www.inmediahk.net/node/33750 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080613024007/http://www.inmediahk.net/node/33750 |archive-date=2008-06-13 |website=[[Hong Kong Inmedia]] |language=zh}}</ref> Despite this, the university officially renamed the faculty on 1 January 2006.
=== Patient billing controversy and jailing of former dean ===
In January 2007, the [[University of Hong Kong]] (HKU) set up an inquiry committee after receiving complaints "relating to certain billing arrangements in respect of private patients of a clinical department of the university".<ref name=":3">{{Cite web |last1=Ann |first1=Mary |last2=Benitez |first2=Mary Ann |date=2007-03-09 |title=Committee of inquiry set up after complaints |url=https://www.scmp.com/article/584279/committee-inquiry-set-after-complaints |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240611220827/https://www.scmp.com/article/584279/committee-inquiry-set-after-complaints |archive-date=2024-06-11 |access-date=2024-06-11 |website=[[South China Morning Post]] |language=en}}</ref> In March amid the investigation, the faculty's dean, Lam Shiu-kum, abruptly resigned, citing "personal reasons".<ref name=":3" /><ref name=":4">{{Cite web |last1=Lee |first1=Ella |last2=Ann |first2=Mary |last3=Benitez |first3=Mary Ann |date=2007-03-08 |title=HKU dean of medicine quits amid fees probe |url=https://www.scmp.com/article/584189/hku-dean-medicine-quits-amid-fees-probe |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240611220825/https://www.scmp.com/article/584189/hku-dean-medicine-quits-amid-fees-probe |archive-date=2024-06-11 |access-date=2024-06-11 |website=[[South China Morning Post]] |language=en}}</ref> HKU acknowledged that Lam's resignation was a "highly unusual" event.{{Citation needed|date=August 2013}}
HKU was questioned by legislator [[Kwok Ka-ki]] on why it had earned only slightly more at its [[Queen Mary Hospital (Hong Kong)|Queen Mary Hospital]] (QMH) than [[The Chinese University of Hong Kong]] did at their [[Prince of Wales Hospital]], despite conducting three times more operations a year.<ref>{{Cite web |last1=Goh |first1=Lilian |last2=Ann |first2=Mary |last3=Benitez |first3=Mary Ann |date=2007-03-29 |title=Former HKU medical dean breaks silence |url=https://www.scmp.com/article/586824/former-hku-medical-dean-breaks-silence |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240611221046/https://www.scmp.com/article/586824/former-hku-medical-dean-breaks-silence |archive-date=2024-06-11 |access-date=2024-06-11 |website=[[South China Morning Post]] |language=en}}</ref> In an article published by the [[South China Morning Post]] in March 2007, an anonymous medical source familiar with the faculty's operation said that there had long been a lack of monitoring and transparency concerning the faculty's billing of private services. The source was reported saying, "[f]or example, the surgical department alone can make more than HK$10 million a year. But for years frontline doctors are not told where the money goes, it is a black hole".<ref name=":4" />
In September 2009, Lam was sentenced to 25 months in jail after pleading guilty to [[misconduct in public office]]. Between 2003 and 2007, Lam had induced 12 of his patients at QMH to pay what appeared to be medical bills issued by the university and the hospital, but were payable to Gastrointestinal Research, a company wholly owned by Lam. The payments totalled HK$130,000.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Parry |first=Jane |date=8 September 2009|title=University of Hong Kong's former dean of medicine is jailed |journal=British Medical Journal|pages=b3668 |volume=339 |issue=b3668 |doi=10.1136/bmj.b3668 |s2cid=71593988 |url=http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/extract/339/sep08_1/b3668|access-date=2010-05-09}}</ref><ref name=":5">{{Cite web |date=2009-09-04 |title=Ex-HKU medical school dean jailed for 25 months |url=https://www.scmp.com/article/691482/ex-hku-medical-school-dean-jailed-25-months |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240611220841/https://www.scmp.com/article/691482/ex-hku-medical-school-dean-jailed-25-months |archive-date=2024-06-11 |access-date=2024-06-11 |website=[[South China Morning Post]] |language=en}}</ref> Lam had also asked three patients to make HK$3.8 million in donations to medical research, which he then pocketed.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6">{{Cite news |last=Nickkita |first=Lau |date=4 Sep 2009 |title=Bitter pill |url=http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?we_cat=11&art_id=87401&sid=25252536&con_type=3&d_str=20090904&fc=8 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110629171309/http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?we_cat=11&art_id=87401&sid=25252536&con_type=3&d_str=20090904&fc=8 |archive-date=29 June 2011 |access-date=9 May 2010 |newspaper=[[The Standard (Hong Kong)|The Standard]]}}</ref> In passing sentence, judge Li Hon-leung said that although the patients' well-being was not compromised,<ref name=":6" /> Lam had seriously breached the trust of both the faculty and his patients, and had attempted to cover up his misconduct.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6" /> The judge said he had taken into account 22 letters that spoke highly of Lam's character and contributions to medicine, including one from former [[Chief Executive of Hong Kong|Chief Executive]], [[Tung Chee-hwa]],<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":7">{{Cite web |date=2009-09-02 |title=HKU dean admits inducing patients to donate HK$4m to firm |url=https://www.scmp.com/article/691227/hku-dean-admits-inducing-patients-donate-hk4m-firm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240611223613/https://www.scmp.com/article/691227/hku-dean-admits-inducing-patients-donate-hk4m-firm |archive-date=2024-06-11 |access-date=2024-06-11 |website=[[South China Morning Post]] |language=en}}</ref> who Lam was personal physician for.<ref name=":7" /> Setting a starting point of five years jail, the judge deducted 35 months for Lam's guilty plea, his good character, and the fact that he had repaid all the money, leaving 25 months.<ref name=":6" /> Prosecutors were advised by the [[Secretary for Justice (Hong Kong)|Secretary of Justice]] not to proceed with 33 charges of fraud and theft, which were thus [[Lie on file|left on file]].<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6" /><ref name=":7" />
