Lee Sun Chau


Lee Sun Chau (周理信, i.e., 周六姑, 1890-1979) was one of the first female Chinese doctors of Western Medicine in China. She was an alumna of Belilios Public School. In the late 1910s she graduated from Hackett Medical College for Women, and she then worked as a staff physician at the David Gregg Hospital for Women and Children (also known as Yuji Hospital 柔濟醫院) in Guangzhou, China.

Lee Sun Chau's daughter Rebecca Chan Chung served as a nurse with the China National Aviation Corporation, Flying Tigers, and the U.S. Army during World War II.

Deborah Chung dedicated her book Carbon Fiber Composites (2012) "[t]o the memory of my maternal grandmother, Lee Sun Chau, M.D. (1890—1979)".
