2003年初第一个揭露了中华人民共和国卫生部谎报SARS疫情，在依次向上级主管、国内媒体、香港凤凰卫视反映未果情况下，向海外媒体《时代周刊》通报了真实疫情，从而引发舆论之重视，中国政府公开了 SARS 防治工作的情况。
2004年8月，蒋彦永荣获菲律宾的麦格塞塞公共服务奖。据官方网站报道，蒋彦永“勇于揭露SARS疫症真相，从而拯救了不少生命”。
另外，他担任全军肿瘤专业组副组长和中华医学外科学会北京分会委员。蒋彦永学术著作甚丰，发表过《原发性腹膜后肿瘤的外科处理》等40多篇论文，并有《胃肠病学手术》、《普外手术并发病与局部解剖关系》等专著问世。
[编辑] 政治立场
1990年代初，蒋彦永写过一封要求为“六四事件”正名的信件但没有引注意，2004年3月人大、政协两会期间，通过李锐向当局写信要求正名六四天安门事件。这封信在互联网上流传着若干版本，但其真实性均存在争议。1989年发生在北京的六四事件中，曾经不断有解放军使用入身变形子弹镇压民众的说法，并且在因镇压而去世的学生身上发现达姆弹纪录。时任解放军301医院外科部主任的蒋彦永便曾亲自加以证实。[1][2]
据外电报道与蒋友人、家人透露，2004年6月1日蒋彦永和妻子华仲尉从住所前往301医院途中被当局“带走”，但是中国政府声明否认此事。华仲尉女士在被禁两周后获释，蒋彦永医生本人也已于2004年7月19日被释放，此后一直对他实行监视居住，处在软禁状态。2005年3月22日重获行动自由，但以非程序方式告知了诸多限制措施，如不得接受采访[3]。有消息称，蒋彦永是受到军方内部审查。2005年7月，蒋彦永准备与太太前往美国加州探望女儿蒋瑞时被禁止出境。蒋彦永提出解除与301医院的所有关系、让他退出解放军部队但未获准许[4]。
蒋彦永医生的堂兄蒋彦士乃中华民国官僚，曾在台湾担任总统府秘书长。有人认为，这层关系可能加深了中国政府对其的怀疑。
Jiang Yanyong (born October 4, 1931) is a Chinese physician from Beijing who publicized a coverup of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) epidemic in China. Jiang was the chief physician of the 301 Military Hospital in Beijing a senior member of the Communist Party of China.
In 1989, Dr. Jiang was the chief physician of the 301 Military Hospital in Beijing, China. As a military doctor holds a rank within the People's Liberation Army which is equivalent to Major General. While there, he witnessed the results of the trauma inflicted on the students during the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.
While the SARS virus began spreading in China in late 2002 and early 2003, the number of cases being reported in mainland China was drastically understated by the government. On April 4, Jiang emailed an 800-word letter to Chinese Central Television -4 (CCTV4) and PhoenixTV (HongKong) reporting that fact. Although neither of the two replied or published his letter, the information was leaked to the western news organizations. On April 8, 2003, Dr. Jiang was reached by a journalist from the Wall Street Journal through telephone interview. Later the same day, Susan Jakes, a Time journalist in Beijing also contacted Dr. Jiang. Time published the striking news right away with the title of "Beijing's SARS Attack". In this article, Dr. Jiang's letter was translated into English and, for the first time, the public was made aware of the actual situation in China. This letter forced the resignation of the Mayor of Beijing and the Minister of Public Health on April 21, 2003. The Chinese government began to actively deal with the growing epidemic. Most public health experts believe that this act prevented the disease from reaching pandemic proportions.
In February 2004, Dr. Jiang wrote an open letter to the Premier Wen Jiabao, several deputy premiers, the Politburo and many other members of the Chinese government. The letter asked for a re-examination of the responsibility borne by the Chinese government for the Tiananmen Square Massacre. A number of media sources indicate that because of Jiang Yanyong's senior rank the topic of what to do with him was discussed by the Politburo.
On June 2, 2004, two days before the 15th anniversary of the massacre, Dr. Jiang Yanyong's family in California reported that he and his elderly wife were missing from their house in Beijing after being arrested and placed under military custody.[1] Many sources have indicated that while a number of high level members believed that Jiang should have been ignored, that his arrest was the result of personal intervention of Jiang Zemin (no relation), who as Chairman of the Central Military Commission ordered the arrest of Jiang Yanyong on the grounds of violating military discipline. On June 15, 2004, a source close to the Jiang family reported Hua Zhongwei, the elderly wife of Dr. Jiang Yanyong, was freed two weeks after being detained in secret. In early July 2004 it was alleged that Dr. Jiang was being subjected to indoctrination efforts by the Chinese military. She was said to be safe in her Beijing home. The doctor himself was released from Chinese custody on July 19, 2004.
Dr. Jiang is the cousin of Chiang Yan-shih, a high-ranking Kuomintang official who once served as Secretary-General to the President of the Republic of China on Taiwan. This is significant as many feared that Dr. Jiang would be charged with spying for Taiwan.
