Dr. George Leslie Mackay was born in Oxford County, Ontario, Canada in 1844.
In 1880, Dr. Mackay founded the Tamsui Mackay Hospital, which was the first Western hospital in the northern part of Taiwan, helping countless patients, especially lepers and patients living in remote areas. The hospital was the forerunner of Mackay Memorial Hospital.
Although formally Mackay wasn´t a physician, he had received medical training and provided medical care for the sick while in Tamsui, taking the opportunity to preach the gospel at the same time.
He lightened people´s suffering, for example, by employing quinine to cure malaria, or by pulling the teeth of those with dental maladies.
By his own count, he pulled 21,000 teeth over 20-odd years, leaving those who had previously been tortured by toothache with a "tooth missing, hard to forget" sense of grateful remembrance.
