  • 容鳳書(英語:Yung Fung-shee,1900年-1972年8月27日),香港女慈善家,家族與渣打銀行關係密切,她的祖父是渣打銀行首位買辦,而容良的其中一名兒子等多名家族成員也相繼在渣打銀行歷任買辦和華經理等要職。行事低調的容鳳書生前在證券市場投資有道,賺取大筆利潤,她在1969年訂立遺囑,決定在身後把300萬港元遺產轉贈香港政府,用作興建照顧社會大眾的免費公眾健康中心和診所。當她在1972年8月逝世的時候,有關遺產已升值至1,600萬港元,其後到1978年底再進一步升值至5,100萬港元。容鳳書遺下的鉅額遺產,足以讓港府於1984年建成位於九龍觀塘的容鳳書紀念中心,該座健康中心造價7,000萬港元,費用全數由有關遺產支付。後來有關遺產再捐出3,250萬港元,促成位於新界元朗的容鳳書健康中心在1991年落成啟用。 (zh)
