Henry Fan Hung Ling, SBS, JP (Chinese: 范鴻齡; born 2 June 1948 in Shanghai, Republic of China with family roots in Ningbo, Zhejiang) is a businessman and politician who served as the managing director of CITIC Pacific[1] and the vice-chairman of Cathay Pacific Airways.[2] He is now the chairman of Hospital Authority. He was a non-official member of the Executive Council of Hong Kong from 2007 to 2009. He was previously a barrister practising out of Temple Chambers in Hong Kong.
He is the elder brother of Fanny Law, a former Hong Kong Government official. He graduated from the University of Hong Kong and Peking University.
In September 2022, Fan lobbied for a "significant expansion" of traditional Chinese medicine used in Hong Kong's public healthcare.[3] Days after, the Hospital Authority released a study claiming that traditional Chinese medicine could help long COVID symptoms; however, the study was not conducted in a scientific randomized controlled trial.[4]
In November 2022, Fan tested positive for COVID.[5]
In December 2022, Fan admitted that a scheme to hire overseas doctors was "very unsatisfactory," with only 9 of 65 applications given an offer.[6]
