| Abstract: | Dr Thomas Hodgkin, from whom is derived the eponym of Hodgkin's Disease, was a pathologist at Guy's Hospital, London. He was also a humanitarian who championed the cause for liberty of oppressed people in the Middle East, Africa and America. In one of his philanthropic missions to the Middle East in 1857 he spent a week in Malta. He wrote a letter to a member of the Senate of the University of London urging closer relations between this University and that of Malta. He died in Jaffa in 1866. The first cases of Hodgkin's Disease in Malta were described in 1949. |
