Founded in 1887 as the Hong Kong College of Medicine for Chinese, and renamed the '''Hong Kong College of Medicine''' in 1907, it had its first two graduates in 1892, one of which was Dr Sun Yat Sen . As one of the founding faculties of The University of Hong Kong, the Faculty of Medicine changed to its present name after securing a pledge of a HK$ 1 billion donation from businessman and philanthropist Li Ka-shing under the funding of Li Ka Shing Foundation . The rename provoke a controversy that many students and prominent alumni of the faculty objected. Despite the objections, the university officially renamed the faculty on January 1, 2006.
