Abstract
Fanny Ko was the first in her family to be a doctor, and her first medical memory was being made to wait outside the ward while her mother visited her father in hospital—he had tuberculosis. “Thankfully, he made a full recovery”, Ko tells The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. “When I was considering medicine, I thought back to his treatment, and wondered if I could help people just as doctors had helped my family.” Today, she is consultant at the Department of Medicine and Therapeutics, Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong, and Honorary Clinical Associate Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, China, where she is an expert in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.
