Kenneth Munro Scott, who was called Samihua, was born in 1916 in Cheongdo, Shandong Province, China, the son of a missionary in China. His parents were expelled from China at the age of 11 and came to Korea, graduating from high school at Pyengyang Foreign School, and in 1933, he majored in piano and organ music at Davidson College in North Carolina. After graduating from college in 1937, he went to the Medical School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he met Anna Bicksler for internship training, and on July 11, 1942, he married her.

He wanted to become a missionary in the U.S. and go to China, where his parents were working, but he came to Korea because China was communist and missionaries could not enter.

While the director Maffet was vacant, he visited Korea in April 1954 and was appointed as the vicarious ledger of Dongsan Christian Hospital. As a surgeon, he operated and treated many patients who were injured during the war. In addition, the Cholchon Mission Missionary Team for Village was organized through a missionary meeting with Vice President Hwang Yong-won to tour the village of Muui, free medical treatment, and enlightenment of evangelism in the Gyeongbuk area.

Scott served as acting director in a very difficult time right after the war and handled all the hospital's affairs and administration well while also harmonizing with Vice President Hwang Yong-woon and all other employees. In addition, it was excellent in both medical and missionary aspects, and by carrying out reforms through reconstruction and missionary activities of hospital buildings, it made great achievements not only in hospital development but also in missionary ways.

He moved to Severance Hospital in Seoul after Moffett returned to the hospital's post in the summer of 1957.

Scott performed a lot of tuberculosis patients surgery at Severance Hospital. There were patients with lips and chest stuck together, and there were also young people who tried to commit suicide after eating sodium hydroxide. A young woman, who once quit school and gave up her life due to tuberculosis, recovered after undergoing surgery and came to Scott with her fiancé to officiate at the wedding for the first time in her life.

He gave his last lecture in Korea in 1963 and left for India. He served as director of Ludhiana Brown Christian Hospital in India and dean of the medical school for 11 years. The hospital has grown into an 800-bed hospital, and has shown excellent leadership in establishing a medical school and nursing school with 350 students and growing into a large institution with several affiliated hospitals.

He believed in Proverbs 3:5-6 with his lifelong words.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." He lived his whole life following God's decision and tried to live the life God wanted. He said God was always gracious and was really grateful for always leading his life with a precious touch.

On September 15, 2014, at the age of 98, he was called by God.
