香港大學李嘉誠醫學院（港大醫學院）留意到近日網上及社交媒體平台流傳多則言論及帖文，提及關於港大醫學院2026年度經大學聯合招生辦法（聯招）錄取內外全科醫學士（MBBS）課程的收生成績。港大醫學院特此鄭重澄清：
港大醫學院本年度並無經聯招錄取任何文憑試成績40.5分之申請人入讀MBBS課程。任何宣稱「40.5分仍獲香港大學醫科課程錄取」的說法，均與事實不符。本院對任何失實、誤導、或虛假之言論表示嚴正關注，並呼籲有關人士停止發布及散播相關資訊。本院保留採取法律行動及追究相關責任的權利。
港大醫學院一直秉持公平、公開、公正及擇優而錄的原則進行招生工作。任何有關收生成績、取錄資格或甄選程序的資訊，均應以本院及香港大學公布的官方資料為準。

In the press conference of 12 February 2026, Professor KY Yuen in his capacity as the Director of the Centre of Virology, Vaccinology and Therapeutics (CVVT) delivered an academic talk about a novel scientific approach which leads to the discovery of compounds or extracts which inhibit the release of toxin by Staphylococcus aureus without killing the bacteria. This approach would reduce the risk of induction of antibiotic resistance and disruption of the normal microbiome of human.
Prof Yuen wishes to clarify that he has never promoted the use of any drug for the treatment of atopic dermatitis at any time. His role was all along academic for the popularisation of translational science. Based on HKUMed's understanding, Prof Yuen has not taken advantage of his professional capacity as a medical doctor to promote the use of any medical products or health claim substances for the treatment of atopic dermatitis during the press conference.
Meanwhile, Prof Yuen does not hold any equity interest in CVVT, which is owned by HKU.
We kindly request the removal of any posts that could be misunderstood or that might create a false impression suggesting otherwise.
