In September 2022, Fan lobbied for a "significant expansion" of traditional Chinese medicine used in Hong Kong's public healthcare. 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. In November 2022, Fan tested positive for COVID. In December 2022, Fan admitted that a scheme to hire overseas doctors was "very unsatisfactory," with only 9 of 65 applications given an offer.
