Douglas Robb (surgeon)

Sir George Douglas Robb CMG (1899–1974) was a New Zealand surgeon, medical reformer, writer, and university chancellor.

Robb had a reputation as something of a maverick and a rebel against the conventional medical establishment, as is discussed in a chapter in Brian Easton's book The Nationbuilders.

[3] A series of annual lectures at the University of Auckland has been named after Doug Robb.

[9] There is a bronze head (1956) and portrait (1961) of Sir Douglas Robb by John Francis Kavanagh in the University of Auckland Art Collection.

His widow, Lady Robb, died in the 1979 Mount Erebus disaster.
