ChB or BChir stands for Bachelor of Surgery - historically this was written chirurgery. This may mean that the doctor qualified in the uk, or possibly Another Country which has adopted the same system of qualification.

In the UK doctors on completing their medical studies are awarded two degrees, Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery. The reason for having two is that medicine and surgery historically used to be two completely separate disciplines, with medicine or physic practiced by highly trained physicians whilst surgery was carried out by barbers.

Note that in Britain most doctors do not hold a doctorate degree; the title is purely honorary.
