Wang Jianning
Summary: Wang Jianning, Deputy Director and Chief Urologist of Shandong Province Qianfoshan Hospital, and the Director of the Organ Procurement Organization (OPO). Shandong Province Qianfoshan Hospital has been promoting organ transplantation as a specialized technique. It is one of the few hospitals in China with the qualifications to perform six types of organ transplants: liver, kidney, heart, lung, pancreas, and small intestine. As of January 2024, the hospital's organ transplant department had completed over 3,000 kidney transplants, over 800 liver transplants, and over 160 heart transplants. Multiple phone investigations have indicated the hospital's involvement in forced organ harvesting, including from living Falun Gong practitioners, and a high volume of organ transplants.
In view of the broader background of the Chinese Communist Party's state crime of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners, since Shandong Province Qianfoshan Hospital has been involved in the crime, Wang Jianning, the Deputy Director of the hospital and the Director of the hospital’s Organ Procurement Organization (OPO), is a major suspect.
