To investigate the criminal conduct of all institutions, organizations, and individuals involved in the persecution of Falun Gong; to bring such investigations, no matter how long it takes, no matter how far and deep we have to search, to full closure; to exercise fundamental principles of humanity; and to restore and uphold justice in society.

Feb20, 2025

Summary: Pan Guanghui, male. Director of the Organ Transplantation Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University. Former Director of the Organ Transplantation Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College, chief surgeon, and has personally completed more than 1,000 kidney transplants. In 2001, he presided over the work of the Organ Transplantation Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College, with an annual kidney transplant volume of about 140 cases. In a telephone investigation conducted by World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) in 2006, the hospital admitted to using Falun Gong donors.

In 2017, the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University established the Organ Transplantation Department, with Pan Guanghui as its director. He was involved in the hospital's kidney transplantation work, and the number and scale of kidney transplants in the hospital increased significantly. From 2017 to November 2023, according to incomplete data, the hospital performed a total of 829 kidney transplants. The hospital awarded Pan Guanghui the "Lifetime Contribution Award for Organ Transplantation". According to a WOIPFG telephone investigation, the hospital performed more than 600 kidney transplants in 10 months in 2021.

In view of the broader background of the Chinese Communist Party's state crime of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners, since the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College's involvement are involved in the crime, Pan Guanghui, the director of the hospital's Organ Transplantation Department, is a major suspect.

In 2017, the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University established the Organ Transplantation Department and appointed Professor Pan Guanghui as its director. From March to October 2017, the department has successfully completed nearly 70 transplant operations (including corneas), which exceeds the total number of major organ transplant operations in Guizhou Province over the years. Pan Guanghui, director of the transplantation department, said that the department has the technical foundation for major organ transplantation and will make every effort to build a major organ transplantation center in Guizhou Province within one year.
