Given that, the general context of the CCP's state crime of live organ harvesting, this hospital is suspected of participating in the crime of live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners and other groups.
I. Overview of Transplantation in the Hospital
The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University (in short named Guangzhou Medical Second Hospital) is a large comprehensive, third level first class hospital and a hospital affiliated with an educational medical college[1]. Kidney transplantation was started in 1987, and the department was established independently in January 2001. There are 3 professors (chief physicians), 5 attending physicians and 3 physicians currently. Since the establishment of the department, nearly two thousand kidney transplants have been performed. The renal transplantation department is one of the approved hospitals to obtain the qualification of renal transplantation[2].
II. The Hospital Admitted to Using Falun Gong Practitioners as Donors
The transplant doctor of the hospital claimed: there was a batch of donors in mid-April 2006. They were (Falun Gong) practitioners in relatively good health, and their kidneys are all young about 20 to 30 years old, without infectious diseases, AIDS or syphilis[3].
III. The hospital has large number of transplant doctors and high volumes of transplant cases.
WOIPFG released a list of transplant surgeons at the hospital in 2014 [4] according to the data found from the hospital’s official website and published papers.
