Great doctors, great sincerity

"The so-called 'great doctor' is not about divine skills or fame, but about sincerity: 'precision' is the study of medical skills and knowledge, and 'sincerity' is the wholehearted dedication to one's profession and responsibilities." – Gabriel Matthew Leung. Since its establishment 130 years ago, the University of Hong Kong's medical school has produced many famous doctors and trained over a thousand graduates each year to serve the society.
