Edward George Horder (1852-Nov 22, 1908) was an English medical missionary to China notable for his work with leprosy patients.[1] As a member of the Church Missionary Society (C.M.S.), Horder spent 25 years in the city of Pakhoi–now Beihai–building and operating the first mission hospital in the Guangdong province.[1][2] In addition to becoming the second-largest C.M.S. mission hospital in China,[3] Horder's Pakhoi mission station was the first institution in the region to treat leprosy patients.[4] Even after Horder's departure, the hospital remained a health center in Beihai and was the site of service for a generation of new missionaries.[5] Although the leper wing closed in 1936, the hospital itself still survives as the Beihai People Hospital.[6][7]
