Dr. Kelvin Liu Kam Wing

In Loving Memory of Dr. Kelvin Liu Kam Wing

Kelvin was a Paediatric surgeon, filial son, devoted brother, loving uncle and grand-uncle, kung-fu martial artist and tai chi master. He was always gentle, diligent, caring, affectionate, honest, full of humour and a generous figure to all who knew him. We invite everyone who knew Kelvin to share their stories and memories of him, illuminating his valour and perseverance in life. He was the son of Liu Chut and Chan Wai Chun. He was a graduate of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland followed by working experience in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and Hong Kong. He held Fellowships of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Australia and Fellowships of the College of Surgeons of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine.

Kelvin provided his services in a number of hospitals and universities in Hong Kong, and he established a Paediatric Surgical Centre. To Kelvin, every patient was important. He gave hope and happiness to so many families. Kelvin was instrumental in the development of paediatric minimal invasive surgery and paediatric liver transplantation in Hong Kong. In addition, he pioneered the establishment of the multidisciplinary clinical service for the management of cleft lip and palate in Hong Kong. Kelvin was devoted to his profession and served as Chairman of the Board of Paediatric Surgery of the College of Surgeons of Hong Kong. He nurtured junior trainees who became consultant surgeons in various surgical subspecialties.

Kelvin devoted his whole life caring for his parents and his siblings; his family meant everything to him. He is survived by his brother Tim and his sisters Eva, Anita, Joanne, Vivian, Chialina and Edna, and other family members, who all loved, adored and looked up to him. What a great brother and doctor he was. His loss is beyond words. He will be with us in our hearts forever. May he rest in peace together with his late parents and his sister Helena whom he loved very much. Vigil will be held on November 25 at 6:30 pm at the Universal Funeral Parlour, Hung Hom, Hong Kong
