Japan doctor who worked for 72 years dies at age 105

TOKYO: A centenarian Japanese doctor who saw patients until just months before his death and helped set up the medical systems that have made Japan one of the world’s longest-lived nations has died at the age of 105.

Born in 1911, a year before the Titanic sank, Shigeaki Hinohara was for decades the director and public face of St Luke’s Interna­tional Hospital in Tokyo.
