Robert Collis (1900-1975), early champion of paediatrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Robert Collis, son of a solicitor and descendant of a prominent medical family, was born and spent his early years in Dublin. He received his secondary education and medical training in England, France and the USA, and played in Ireland’s national rugby team. Whilst working in King’s College Hospital in London he was inspired by Sir George Frederic Still to specialise in paediatrics and returned to Dublin to initiate substantial improvements in the provision of services for the health of children. He also became involved in campaigns to improve living conditions in the inner city and, at the end of the Second World War, he was among the first physicians to enter and work in the concentration camp in Belsen. Later, he played important roles in the creation and administration of medical schools in Nigeria as it became an independent state and finally returned to county Wicklow for his retirement.
