初創時期的中華醫學傳教會澳門醫院

In July 1838, the Medical Missionary Society founded a hospital in Macau, a Western-style medical institution headed by Peter Parker. The hospital had treated about 700 patients before it was closed in October of the same year, being an important witness of the further evangelization, integration and institutionalization of protestant medical ministries in China. This paper, based on the hospital reports and other original documents, sorts out the hospital conditions in the early stages and makes a systematic discussion, including clarifying the hospital establishment context, making a textual criticism on its location, and exploring the medical treatments, hospital operations, as well as doctorpatient relationships during this period.
