History
[edit]Tianjin People's Hospital was originally founded as the Tientsin Mission Hospital and Dispensary by Dr. John Kenneth Mackenzie of the London Missionary Society in 1880.[2] Following his death, Mackenzie was succeeded by Dr. Fred C. Roberts, who led the hospital from 1888 until his death in 1894.[3]
On December 4, 2024, Nankai University, Tianjin University, and the Tianjin Municipal Health Commission held a signing ceremony[4]. The Tianjin Municipal Health Commission and Nankai University agreed to jointly develop Tianjin People's Hospital, designating it as a directly affiliated hospital of Nankai University and officially naming it the First Affiliated Hospital of Nankai University.
