Preface

The Organ Transplantation Department of the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University is suspected to be one of the main birthplaces of live organ harvesting for transplantation in China. Its vice president He Xiaoshun and several doctors have admitted to their use of Falun Gong practitioners’ organs in transplants. The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University also has a “brain death center”. By as early as 2010, the hospital had performed tens of thousands of organ transplants, and its individual doctors’ transplant volumes had reached several thousand cases per person. Its number of transplants in a single day was astonishing, up to 19 kidney transplants per day. The hospital has ample donor sources, and the patients’ organ wait times have been extremely short. For example, Huang Jiefu only spent a few hours to transfer several matching live donors, including one from this hospital, as backups for one of his operations.

Hospital Profile: The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University is a state-level tertiary Class A general hospital, composed of three hospital districts, including the hospital headquarters, Huangpu District and Dongshan District.[1] The hospital has more than 4,500 formal employees and 2,228 ward beds. The hospital has 61 clinical departments and 15 medical technical departments.[2]

Date: June 30, 2015 (Phone number: +86-2082375263)

Excerpts:

Investigator:  There are 36 concentration camps in China to imprison Falun Gong practitioners. So their organs are used for transplantation. When many patients heard this, they all requested for such donor organs. Why? Because these donors are all healthy and they are practitioners.
Dr. Han: Yes, that’s right. It is true that things were like that before. Now it doesn’t work that way because of the international society.

Personal Profile: He Xiaoshun is a member of the International Liver Transplant Society, member of the International Society of Digestive Surgery, expert member of the Clinical Application Committee of the Human Organ Transplantation of the Ministry of Health, member of the Organ Transplantation Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, member of the Chinese Medical Association’s Surgery Branch, vice chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Liver Disease Society, and chairman of the Organ Transplantation Professional Committee.[8]

II. The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University has a “Brain Death Center”

On July 20, 2015, an organ transplant surgeon at the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University revealed that there were “brain death centers” across China. Huang Jiefu serves as an honorary director of the hospital’s organ transplant center. This surgeon said that prior to the abolishment of the use of executed prisoners’ organs for transplantation, the Chinese Communist Party had already set up “brain death centers” across the country to guarantee the supply of living donors to organ transplant hospitals.

The “brain death centers” are actually an additional link between the living organ donor bank and the hospitals’ organ transplant operating rooms. When a person is made “brain dead”, he would be sent to a brain death center, to have his breathing and blood circulation artificially maintained, to shorten the warm and cold ischemia times, to guarantee the quality of his organs for transplant use. On the other hand, since the people stored there are “dead”, the psychological pressure on the transplant surgeons is much smaller than direct organ excision from the “living organ donor bank”.

The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University has a Brain Death Center

On July 20, 2015, Qin Han, a doctor from the Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Department at the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, which is located in Guangzhou, told a WOIPFG investigator, “We specifically have a brain death center. It is located in our South China, and it belongs to our hospital. Huangpu Hospital (where the center is located) is about 40 minutes by car (from here). Our hospital has two campuses, both of which are in Huangpu. We do surgeries in the headquarters and excise organs in Huangpu. So there will be no so-called warm ischemia. We’re supposed to be in control of (the organs from braindead people in) the whole country right now. Yes, it’s definitely like this, because now, all over the country, because our center is dedicated to operating the organ transplantation (industry). Because all over the country now, the (organs of) so-called executed prisoners have been canceled. So it is like this in the whole country. Across China, in every major city…that is, in South China, we may be a center, an organ transplant center. For example, say the whole country uses organs, there are places that need this type… so someone would call (us) to come over to excise (the organ). After all, since we are the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, they generally don’t come here to take (our organs). We basically (use all our organs) within the city, basically in Guangzhou, unless there’s an organ that we do not want, such as a wasted organ, which we don’t want. If some other province happens to need that type, then they could come over to get it. The organs are mainly supplied to Guangzhou, and the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University takes the priority, because (the brain death center is) operated by ourselves after all!” [9]

Doctor of Liver Transplantation of the Third Transplant Area in the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University (August 3, 2017): “There are more donors than before. The donor (organs) are from the donation of braindead patients. The organs can’t be transported. If the transport time is too long, it will affect the functions of the organs. The state has a corresponding system of distribution, but the distribution principle is proximity. The organs are distributed by the state.” “The organs are excised from the (donated) remains first, and then the remains are delivered to the schools.”

Doctor of Liver Transplantation from the Second Transplant Area in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (September 26, 2017): “(Organ donors) come in batches. Sometimes several could come in, sometimes we would rest for a couple of days, then we have another batch of organ donors.” Donors would come into the hospitals, instead of organs. “Because our hospital has the qualification, we could excise (organs) by ourselves.”

III. Emergency Organ Transplants and the Short organ Wait Times

Usually, an emergency liver transplant is an emergency liver replacement operation for a patient of acute and severe liver disease, with a survival period of no more than 72 hours. Emergency liver transplantation is not common outside of China, due to the difficulty of emergency tissue typing and the long wait times for donors. However, in mainland China, emergency liver transplants have been widely performed in recent years.

IV. There are Ample Donor Sources and Huang Jiefu only used several hours to transfer several matching live donors as backups for his surgery

According to “Urumqi Online”, Sina.com and “Today’s Nurse” magazine,[16] in the afternoon of September 28, 2005, the then-Vice Minister of Health, Huang Jiefu, performed an autologous liver transplant at the First Teaching Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University and used three living people as back-up liver donors. One of them was found at the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University within several hours.[17]

V. The organ transplant department established by Huang Jiefu is suspected of being one of the main birthplaces of live organ harvesting for transplantation in China

Huang Jiefu, former Vice Minister of Health and the incumbent director of China’s National Organ Donation and Transplantation Committee, served as the president, vice president and director of the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department at the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, as well as president, vice president and communist party committee secretary of the former Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Sciences (SUMS) from 1987 to 2001.[18]

Huang Jiefu and Zheng Keli, a surgeon of kidney transplantation, established the Organ Transplantation Department at the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University in 1996. The department was upgraded to become the “Guangdong Province Organ Transplant Research Center” in 1997. Since 1999, the number and clinical scale of kidney transplant operations at the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University have always been among the top in China. In 2006, the center was approved by the Ministry of Health as a national kidney transplantation technical training base.[19] In the same year, it was awarded the title of “China Liver Transplant Training Center” by the China Medical Board (CMB) in the United States and became one of the three major training centers for CMB’s liver transplantation in China, training a large number of doctors in organ transplantation technologies. It has also held many national-level organ transplant related training and education projects.[20]

As a result, the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University is regarded as one of the main birthplaces of clinical major organ transplantation in China.

VI. The Hospital has Well-equipped Organ Transplantation Departments, Many Organ Transplant Surgical Teams and Large-Scale Organ Transplant Operations

The organ transplantation departments at the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University consist of Organ Transplant Area One (liver transplant inpatient area), Area Two (kidney transplant inpatient area), Area Three (eastern hospital area), the heart transplant inpatient service department, the organ transplant laboratory, the liver transplant specialist clinic and the outpatient department of kidney transplantation.[21]

1. By as early as 2010, the hospital had performed tens of thousands of organ transplants.

As of 2017, the hospital’s official website stated that its Organ Transplant Center had carried out more than 7,000 liver, kidney, heart, pancreas and small intestine transplant operations.[22] According to an article published by a newspaper called “New Express” on October 9, 2010, as of 2010, the hospital’s Organ Transplant Center had performed liver and kidney transplants for over tens of thousands of patients.[23] The liver and kidney transplant volumes at the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University have been consistently ranked the top among the several major organ transplant hospitals in Guangdong.

2. The hospital’s number of transplants in a single day is astonishing, up to 19 kidney transplants per day.

Guangzhou Daily reported on March 14, 2006 that a reporter witnessed five liver transplants and six kidney transplants being performed simultaneously in the operating rooms at the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University. The reporter also mentioned that the hospital performed as many as 19 cases of kidney transplantation in one day; and its highest record of liver transplants is six cases of liver transplantation and one case of multi-organ transplantation in one day.[24]

Figure 1 Snapshot of the Guangzhou Daily webpage

3. A “famous remark” of He Xiaoshun, vice president of the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, reveals the secret.

He Xiaoshun once said, “The number of liver transplants in the whole country in 2000 was 10 times that of 1999; and by 2005, the number tripled from that in 2000.”[25] This means that there was a 30-fold increase in the number of liver transplants from 2000 to 2005. The explosive growth of China’s organ transplants after 1999 coincides with the time period, during which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) persecutes Falun Gong practitioners. This actually implies the earth-shattering crime that had not yet surfaced: behind the explosive growth of China’s organ transplant industry, it is the harvesting of living Falun Gong practitioners’ organs.

Phoenix Magazine Network published an article titled “The Inside Story of Human Organ Trafficking in China” on November 5, 2013. The article quoted the above mentioned remark from He Xiaoshun and inferred, “The year 2000 marked a watershed in China’s organ transplant industry.”[26]

Figure 2 Snapshot of the Sina News webpage in November 2013

In 1999, China had 118 cases of liver transplant.[27] According to He Xiaoshun, in 2005 alone, China’s liver transplants reached 5,192 cases. The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University claimed that they had “the most organ transplant categories in the entire country, and the total scale of organ transplants is second in the country.”[28]

4. The individual doctors’ transplant volumes at the hospital have reached several thousand cases per person.

Huang Jiefu, an honorary director at the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University,[29] told a journalist from Guangzhou Daily in March 2013 that he performed more than 500 liver transplants in 2012, and among them, only one transplant used a donated organ.[30] During an investigation telephone call on June 3, 2015, after hearing that Huang Jiefu did more than 500 liver transplants in one year, Dr. Han of the hospital’s Hepatobiliary Surgery Department said, “We have done more than 1,500 cases by now!”

Figure 3 Screenshot of a news article stating that Huang Jiefu performed more than 500 transplants in one year

Professor Zheng Keli, the chief surgeon of the hospital’s Urology Department, has presided over more than 3,000 kidney transplants.[31]

According to the official website of the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University in 2012, Professor Wang Changxi, director of the Organ Transplantation Department, already had the clinical experiences of performing more than 2,000 cases of transplantation. Among them, more than 700 cases of kidney transplantation were performed by him as the main surgeon.[32]

As of February 2016, Zhu Xiaofeng, a professor in the Organ Transplantation Department, had performed more than 1,000 liver transplants, of which more than 600 cases were performed by him as the main surgeon. He has also performed 13 cases of upper abdominal organ cluster transplantation and 16 cases of combined pancreas-kidney transplantation.[33]

As of February 2016, Yuan Xiaopeng, associate chief surgeon of the Organ Transplantation Department, had participated in more than 3,000 kidney transplant operations and performed more than 500 kidney transplant operations as the main surgeon.[34]

...

WOIPFG released a list of organ transplant doctors in this hospital in 2014.[35] Among the liver and kidney transplant surgeons, we were able to discover from the hospital’s official website and medical papers that 53 of them had actually performed operations, including 16 chief surgeons, nine associate chief surgeons and eight attending surgeons. The doctors at the hospital could form more than 10 liver and kidney transplant surgical teams.

VII. The hospital is the one that Taiwanese to go to the most in the mainland for transplants

According to The Epoch Times, the Taiwan Supervisory Council corrected the    Ministry of Health and Welfare’s inaccurate notification of overseas organ   transplants on March 8, 2019. Supervisory member Tian Qiujin further pointed  out that there are four main hospitals for people from Taiwan to receive transplants in mainland China, and among them the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University in Guangzhou has the most. [36]

According to a report by The Epoch Times, "A Chinese Doctor Performed Kidney Transplants for 66 Patients from Taiwan in 3 Years, and 5 in 3 Days, which is Unusual ”:

According to an investigation report released by the Taiwan Supervisory Council on March 7, 2019, from July 1, 2015 to September 19, 2018, a total of 368 people went abroad for organ transplants, of which 73 have no data on in which countries, hospitals, and by which doctors their transplants were done. And 281 of the remaining 295 people received organ transplants in China, and the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou had the most--78 people; and there were 66 kidney transplant recipients in this hospital, and the attending surgeons for them all was Yuan Xiaopeng.

The investigation report pointed out that, 8 times Yuan Xiaopeng performed kidney transplants for two patients in China on the same day, and the rest of the transplant operations were also done quite close one to another. The most frequent one was between March 15 and 17 of 2016, when 5 were done. The least frequent one was just over 5 months apart, that is, after the operation on June 17, 2018, the Ministry of Health and Welfare decided on July 9 of the same year to ask the National Health Insurance Department to discuss that for those who did not report completely, the National Health Insurance will not pay anti-rejection drugs. Thereafter, the operation record became available on November 23 of the same year.

Over 3 years after the amendment of the "Regulations on Human Organ Transplantation", there are still cases of overseas transplants that have not been fully reported. Among the 63 people who were followed up by the Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University, 57.14% had not completed the notification. And among the kidney patients who received Yuan Xiaopeng's transplant surgery, another 58 people (about 88%) were followed up by the Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen Medical University, all of which were inconsistent with the norm. [37]

VIII. Dr. Zhou Yidi, formerly working in the medical department of the hospital, said that the CCP’s live organ harvesting really exists. Around 2002, her hospital performed at least two transplant operations every day. [38]

Zhou Yidi, who used to work in the medical department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, said in an interview with reporters that the CCP’s live organ harvesting really exists. Around 2002, her hospital performed at least two transplant operations every day.

Zhou Yidi, former doctor of the Sun Yat-Sen Hospital: “We have a specialized organ transplant center. At the Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, Huang Jiefu established the country’s first transplant center. When he just returned from overseas, liver and kidney transplants were not that common, and I didn’t notice it at the time, but anyway, when I was there, their liver transplant center was getting bigger and bigger.” “Because it’s a center, it has different beds, and it’s full every day. At least one or two surgeries were done, this was the minimum.”

Zhou Yidi said that any organ transplant needs organ matching, and it is not easy to achieve successful matching in medicine. If there were no organ banks and organ matching, how could there be so many organ transplants in mainland China? “How come our hospital is so lucky that every day there are so many kidney transplants and liver transplants? How come the matching here was successful so quickly? This is simply impossible. It will be possible only when you have many people available as donors. ”

Zhou Yidi said that when working in the hospital's medical department, the hospital clearly stipulated that it would not accept any organs approved by private or non-government health department, and the only source was official channels. Zhou Yidi said that in 2002, the director of the department instructed her to take the hospital request slip to the Guangdong provincial government for its approval seal.

Zhou Yidi said: “Going to the provincial government to get a seal, our hospital request slip needs to have a stamp from the provincial government, and then the stamped approval slip is given to the people in the medical department. Then the people in the medical department will take this to the police-prosecutor-court systems to complete the following procedure (live harvesting). ”

Ⅸ. The CCP attaches great importance to the scientific and technological research and development of organ transplantation and invests a lot of money

Ⅹ. A Medical Paper Reveals Suspected Live Organ Harvesting

The First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University used “tracheal intubation” before heart and lung excisions.

The hospital used two donors in two combined heart-lung transplants in 2006: “In both cases, the donors were male, 28 and 32 years old respectively, and both were diagnosed as brain-dead patients, without heart disease or any infectious disease.”[40] Their first step of excising the hearts and lungs is “pre-anaesthesia treatment”, including “tracheal intubation”.[41]

http://www.zhuichaguoji.org/sites/default/files/story/2014/09/44735_image005.png

Figure 5  An excerpt from the medical paper revealing a suspected case of live organ harvesting

An excerpt from the medical paper reads, “In order to shorten the blood collection time from the donor’s heart and lungs, the circulating nurses quickly opened the venous access, placed the donor in position (in a supine position, with the two upper limbs on each side of the donor) and fixed the donor properly. They assisted the anesthesiologist to perform the tracheal intubation after bronchoscopy.”

Since the two “patients” had already been “diagnosed as brain-dead”, they should have already had the tracheal intubation to maintain breathing. However, the above-mentioned cutting steps show that the "patient" was not intubated at that time, and he was directly "diagnosed" as brain death without intubation for rescue, and then "tracheal intubation" was performed after the heart and lungs were cut, which shows that the organ donor was a living person, and the process of organ harvesting is the process of harvesting the organ from a living person.
