[Dr. Yoo Suk-Chang as a physician].
Dr. Yoo Suk - Chang (1900 - 1972) has been praised for his contribution to the development of the Korean society as an educator and an agricultural reformer as well as a physician. This paper describes his medical career, mainly his contribution to establish and administrate the Min - Jung Hospital (The People's Hospital) and publish a medical paper entitled Bokun Sibo (The Doctors' News) in the Colonial Period. I appreciate such his effort as the embodiment of his idea, "medical care for his people" and the medical reform in that period. I think his services as a physician correspond well with the activities against Japanese imperialism in his early age and the contribution to the education and agricultural reform in his late age. I stress that his medical achievement should not be supposed to be only his own, because it is not possible without the help of all his supporter - colleagues and the people.
