About Dr John Letham

The John Letham Scholarships for Nursing pay respect and honour to a much loved former San Doctor who had a 30 year association with Sydney Adventist Hospital as a GP and obstetrician.  His unfailing dedication to his patients has inspired this scholarship program in his name.  Scholarship recipients are privileged to continue Dr Letham’s ministry of healing and to contribute to the Mission and excellence of Sydney Adventist Hospital.
