I have known Dr Leung for around 40 years. He has always been a very devoted, innovative and ambitious Pediatrician. I worked with him on several reports which were published in the medical literature – the topics of the reports have been very practical and clinically useful. His work in continuing medical education exceeds that of most of his peer group in both volume and quality. I am pleased to be able to add my reference to this effort.

Prof. Alex Leung is a prolific author and conscientious reviewer, contributing numerous publications to international journals and textbooks. His writings are all practical and authentic for paediatric and family practice. He is also a kind and humble teacher who selfishlessly deliver his wisdom and knowledge to students at any possible occasions. On top of all these, he is an astute clinician of great acumen to serve patients and their families with unsurpassed empathy and humility.
He is a workaholic, sacrificing most of his time in academic endeavours and leaving family and friends little leisure time to spend together.
As his classmate, friend and colleague, I cannot find more appropriate words to describe his distinguished successes and achievements.
Without any hesitation, I vote him for this award which he truly deserves.

Dr. Leung was my doctor during childhood and has been an ongoing inspiration to myself, many colleagues and essentially every patient that enters his office to strive to be the best version of themselves that they can be. Dr. Leung is a true encyclopedia of medical knowledge and is someone who understands the intricacies of the human condition and shows compassion and empathy for all from different walks of life. He is by far the most accomplished and accredited physician I know and has written what must be a world record number of journal publications, photo quizzes, chapters and has even authored a comprehensive 4 volume ambulatory pediatrics textbook. Throughout his career and to this day, he continues to volunteer his spare time and energy to sit on many prestigious journal boards and committees helping to further the field with his expertise and knowledge. Despite his awe-inspiring and incredible accolades, he is very humble, approachable and always willing to help out in any way he can. Dr. Leung in my humble opinion is a blessing not just to the medical community but especially to the community that he serves and I am honoured and privileged to be of his acquaintance. I cannot think of any other more deserving doctor for this award!

Dr. Alexander Leung (no relation) mentored me from early in my career as an Academic Paediatrician. Clinically, he is truly a “Doctors’ Doctor”; someone you can call and reliably ask to aid with diagnosis and management of challenging cases. Academically, he supported me with my first publications, and remains a tremendous role model for the hard work, and genuine passion required to succeed. He is inspirational in forging an academic component to General and Ambulatory Paediatrics.

I’ve known Alex for my entire professional career and together we have authored about 500 articles. He is driven to excel as a clinician and as an educator. I have served as an academic paediatrician in three countries and have met many of the foremost paediatricians of my generation. Alex’s clinical acumen is second to none. He knows paediatric medicine. If the number of publications in a peer-reviewed journal is the marker of success in the academic paediatric world, then for my generation, Alex is at the pinnacle of his profession.
Dr. Alexander Leung is a renowned pediatrician and clinician, as well as academician having published countless medical and scientific articles, as well as actively engaged on numerous editorial boards of medical journals and medical societies. I have co-authored many dermatology related articles and cases with him and have enjoyed working with him; his professionalism, dedication, and focus are impressive.
