Yeh Ching-chuan (Chinese: 葉金川; pinyin: Yè Jīnchuān; born 29 June 1950) is a Taiwanese physician and epidemiologist.

Education

[edit]

Yeh attended medical school at National Taiwan University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Medicine (M.B.) in 1975 and a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) in 1977.[1] He then pursued graduate studies in the United States at Harvard University, where he earned a Master of Science (M.S.) in epidemiology from the Harvard School of Public Health in 1981.[2]

Political career

[edit]

Yeh served as deputy mayor of Taipei under Ma Ying-jeou,[3] and was named a deputy secretary general of the presidential office at the start of Ma's first presidential term in 2008.[4] He later replaced Lin Fang-yue as health minister in September 2008. In May 2009, the 2009 flu pandemic reached Taiwan.[5][6] Before it abated, Yeh resigned his position on 3 August to run for the Hualien County magistracy, but lost a primary to Tu Li-hua.[7][8]

In 2014, he was selected to lead a committee that explored possible changes to the National Health Insurance program.[9] Yeh later chaired the Taiwan Blood Services Foundation, resigning the position in 2017.[10][11]
