Queen Mary Hospital (Hong Kong) in the context of "Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese"

The Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine (branded as HKUMed) is a faculty offering healthcare education at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), a public research university. It was founded in 1887 as the Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese, the city's first western medical school and one of the oldest in the Asia–Pacific region.

The college served as the base for HKU's founding in 1910 and was absorbed to become its first faculty. It has expanded to now consist of multiple schools that provide tertiary programmes in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and traditional 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, its main teaching facility and research base. The faculty was renamed after businessman and philanthropist Li Ka-shing in 2006 following a HK$1 billion donation.
