English: The Good Samaritan (1961), by the sculptor Uli Nimptsch — located in the garden outside the Out-patients Unit at Selly Oak Hospital, in Selly Oak, Birmingham, England.
The base of the statue is inscribed with lines from A Correct Compassion, a poem by James Falconer Kirkup (1918–2009) about a heart operation, first published in The Listener in 1951 and dedicated to “to Mr Philip Allison, after watching him perform a Mitral Stenosis Valvulotomy in the General Hospital at Leeds”.
The statue was commissioned and presented to Selly Oak Hospital by the Charles Henry Foyle Trust on the suggestion of one of the original trustees, the late Sir Albert Bradbeer (1890–1963).
