詳情內容

In Hong Kong prior to the 1970's specialization within the discipline of internal medicine was not encouraged. In those days, patients with neurological diseases were taken care of by doctors who had to, or felt confident to, do so. There were few neurologists, if any, in the sense that we understand today.

In 1973, the Hong Kong Neurological Society (HKNS) was founded. The founding members were mainly neurosurgeons whose specialty had by then gained a foothold in the territory. No record of their activities has remained.

Specialisation began in the latter half of the 1970's. Both the Government and The University of Hong Kong began to send local graduates to the United Kingdom for training in neurology. Among the early trainees were Drs. S.H. Ng and J.K.C. Tsui who both went to the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne where the then Sir John Walton was Professor of Neurology and Dean of the Medical School. Dr. Ng returned in 1979 and became, in 1982, the first neurologist to serve as president of HKNS.
