David Landsborough III

Dr. David Landsborough III (Chinese: 蘭大衛; 2 August 1870 - 1957) was an English physician, missionary, and pioneer in Taiwan (then known as Formosa).

Along with James Laidlow Maxwell and Reverend George Leslie Mackay, Landsborough was one of the foremost medical missionaries in Taiwan.

[2] In December 1895, Landsborough was assigned to the Presbyterian mission in Taiwan to replace Dr. Gavin Russell who died from typhoid.

In 1919, Landsborough came back to Taiwan and reopened the hospital with new equipment and increased local assistance.

As a result, Chou developed serious skin ulcers around his right knee, a condition that could require amputation without treatment.

[2] In 1958, Dr. Tsung-Ming Tu invited Marjorie Learner to tell the story of "The Love Surrounding the First Skin Graft in Taiwan" to the students at Kaohsiung Medical School.

Artist Shih-Chiao painted a piece depicting the story that is hung up at Kaohsiung Medical School as a professional model for students to use today.
