Leonard Rogers

Sir Leonard Rogers FRS (1868–1962) was a founder member of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, and its President from 1933 to 1935.

Rogers had a wide range of interests in tropical medicine, from the study of kala-azar epidemics to sea snake venoms, but is best known for pioneering the treatment of cholera with hypertonic saline, which has saved a multitude of lives.

Rogers was one of the pioneers in setting up the School of Tropical Medicine in Calcutta, India.

He was president of the 1919 session of the Indian Science Congress.
