Fan Jia
Summary: Fan Jia, male, born in March 1958, a member of the Communist Party. He is President of Fudan University-affiliated Zhongshan Hospital, and Director of the Organ Transplant Center of Fudan University. As of August 2021, he had performed nearly 3,000 liver transplants. A December 2003 report by Sina.com noted that the Fudan University Organ Transplant Center performed over 100 organ transplants annually, with a 50% annual increase. On December 8, 2003, the center partnered with the world's largest organ transplant institution to establish the " Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University - University of Pittsburgh Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute Collaboration Center." The number of organ transplants at the hospital has been rapidly increasing every year.
Fan Jia also regularly provides outpatient clinical services and surgeries at Xiamen Branch of Zhongshan Hospital. Recordings of investigations by the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) show that transplant doctors directly admitted to using organs from Falun Gong practitioners, with short waiting times and continued transplants during the pandemic.
In view of the broader background of the Chinese Communist Party's state crime of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners, since Fudan University-affiliated Zhongshan Hospital has been involved in the crime, Fan Jia, the President of the hospital, is a major suspect in the case.

The online media Sina.com reported in December 2003: The total number of organ transplants at Fudan University’s Organ Transplant Center has exceeded 100 cases per year, with an annual growth rate of 50 percent.

In August 2006 (article submitted on February 10), Qin Xinyu, Fudan University Zhongshan Hospital’s CCP secretary, hospital vice president, and director of general surgery, published an article on Chinese Hospitals, stating that at the time, major organ transplant operations on heart, lung, liver and kidney had reached about 400 cases per year.[7]

Investigation Respondent: Dr. Tan Yunshan, Director of Liver Pathology Department, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai
Investigation Date: February 8, 2015. Phone number: +86-13681972360
Summary:
Tan Yunshan: To do liver transplants now, all livers come from the ‘source.’ Of course, we know who the donors are. As to whether these donors are Falun Gong practitioners or not, that’s not our concern. If they are up to standard, we don’t care who the donors are.
Investigator: Do you know that Bai Shuzhong, the former Health Minister of PLA General Logistics Department has confessed that Jiang Zemin ordered the organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners for transplants? So is everyone doing it under that policy?
Tan Yunshan: Yes, that’s right.
Tan Yunshan also told the investigator: All our livers are taken from the original source! Why is that? Since we extract the organs ourselves, we can make sure to get all the original information of all donors. If we entrust someone else to do it, they won’t be able to guarantee this, so we do it ourselves to control this. Our hospital gets the vast majority of livers by ourselves.
