Dr. George Danilov
Medical Director Dies in Hospital
Dr. George Danilov, medical director of Ongwanada Hospital, and chief of services of its respiratory disease unit, died suddenly early this morning at Kingston General Hospital. He was 66.
Dr. Danilov was born in Yugoslavia, where he graduated from medical school in 1934.
He was a medical officer in the Yugoslavian Royal Army Medical Corps during the Second World War, and from 1945 to 1947, worked in the tuberculosis wing of a Yugoslavian refugee hospital in Italy.
He went to England in 1948, where he worked for several years in a sanatorium, before moving to Canada. In 1954, he was on the medical staff of the Sanatorium Notre Dame de Lourdes in New Brunswick.
Dr. Danilov joined the Ongwana staff in 1957 as a physician specializing in tuberculosis. In 1971, he became medical director and chief of services for the tuberculosis unit of the hospital. The tuberculosis unit has since been renamed the respiratory disease unit.
He held those positions until his death, today.
Dr. Danilov was an ardent chess player and a member of the Kingston Chess Club. For several years, he periodically wrote a chess column for The Whig-Standard.
A funeral service will be held for Dr. Danilov on Friday at noon in St. Nicholas Cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church in Montreal. Interment will be in Mount Royal Cemetery.
