Dr. Yeoh Eng Kiong OBE, GBS, JP (traditional Chinese: 楊永強; simplified Chinese: 杨永强; pinyin: Yáng Yǒngqiáng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Iûⁿ Éng-kiông; born 16 April 1946) was the Secretary for Health and Welfare between 1999 and 2002, Secretary for Health, Welfare and Food and a member of the Executive Council between 2002 and 2004 in the Hong Kong Government.
In January 1999, he was appointed to the post of Secretary for Health and Welfare (a civil servant position).
Yeoh is currently a professor at The Jockey Club School of Public Health and Primary Care at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
On 14 March 2003, despite the rising number of SARS cases in Hong Kong, Yeoh insisted there were no signs of a widespread outbreak of pneumonia[1][2] - this was seen as misleading the public into not taking enough health care precautions.
In 2005, Yeoh was awarded a Gold Bauhinia Star and an Honorary Fellowship by the University of Hong Kong.
