Former CUHK Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Joseph Sung Jao-yiu was awarded the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa in the CUHK 91st Congregation. Professor Sung was recognised for his many contributions to CUHK and to medical research. On the medical front, he pioneered the use of endoscopic techniques in treating ulcer bleeding, asserting the relationship between H.pylori bacterial stomach infections and ulcer breeding and reducing the need for operative surgery. He led Asian countries to conduct large-scale colorectal cancer screening programmes and established standards for the procedure. In 2003, during the SARS outbreak in Hong Kong, Professor Sung led his team at Prince of Wales Hospital, battling the deadly disease at the frontline night and day.

During his seven-year term as President, Professor Sung spearheaded a wide range of long-term developments at CUHK. He drove CUHK through a seamless switch from the three-year to four-year undergraduate curriculum. He started the CUHK Medical Centre project and set up the School of Life Sciences and other research institutes covering areas such as environmental science and robot technology. Under an agreement with mainland authorities, CUHK (Shenzhen) was set up in 2014, providing quality education for students across the nation.
