Dr Smith was known as the running paediatrician because she was so passionate about treating children that she would run from ward to ward to see as many children as possible.
The late Dr Gwendolen Smith, consultant paediatrician, is remembered by many with great fondness for her dedication as a clinician as well as her passion in advocating for children’s health and well-being.
One of only two paediatricians in Malaysia in the 1960s, Dr Smith was part of a pioneering group of specialists that established many early initiatives, which have gone on to become institutions in today’s healthcare in Malaysia.
