In 2001, the Department of Surgery, The University of Hong Kong, initiated the Distinguished Lectures series with speakers of eminence in Surgery and other medical and related fields. It is established also to celebrate the 90th Anniversary of The University of Hong Kong. The first orator was Professor William I. Wei and the inauguration, and subsequent ones, were outstanding success. The reaction of the packed auditorium to the Lectures was one of unanimous approval.
This prestigious event is held in the Underground Lecture Theatre, New Clinical Building in Queen Mary Hospital. A Black-tie Dinner in honour of the orator follows the oration.
