Location of Liaoning, the province in which the Sujiatun hospital is located

The Sujiatun Thrombosis Hospital, officially known as the Liaoning Provincial Thrombosis Treatment Center of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine, is a public hospital opened in December 1988 in the Sujiatun district of Shenyang, in northeast China. The hospital is a joint venture with a company associated with the Malaysian government, and has gained several awards for research.

In March 2006, 3 allegations emerged that the hospital was being used for live organ harvesting from about 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners being held prisoner.

Hospital

Sujiatun Thrombosis Hospital was opened in December 1988 as the Shenyang Research Institute of Thrombosis and Liaoning Province Thrombosis Treatment Center of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine. It is a thrombosis treatment centre approved by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a class A Grade three hospital, a national Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) hospital, the general hospital for the Liaoning province and a teaching hospital for the Liaoning University of TCM.

The total hospital site is 21,087 square meters. The hospital has 27 clinical departments employing 460 people, and has 300 beds.

The hospital has been granted several awards for research, including the Gold Prize at the 9th Inventions Exhibition and the Gold Cup Prize of China Excellent Invention Result. In November 2001, research at the hospital was awarded the Gold Prize at the 50th World Exhibition of Innovation, Research and New Technologies in Brussels.

Organ Harvesting

In March 2006, allegations emerged from three individuals that thousands of Falun Gong practitioners had been killed at Sujiatun Thrombosis Hospital, to supply China's organ transplant industry. The third person, a doctor, said the so-called hospitals in Sujiatun are but one of 36 similar concentration camps all over China. The claim came against a background of international concern regarding China's transplantation programme and the persecution of the Falun Gong, a spiritual movement banned in China in 1999, but not Hong Kong.

Within a month, U.S. representatives said they found no evidence that a site in northeast China had been used as a concentration camp, but "the United States remained concerned over China's repression of Falun Gong practitioners and by reports of organ harvesting".

Dissident human rights activist, Harry Wu, said that stated "no concrete or substantiated evidence, such as documents or photos, have been provided to support the witness’ statements".

The Kilgour-Matas report, by former Canadian Secretary of State David Kilgour and human rights lawyer David Matas found that, "the source of 41,500 transplants for the six year period 2000 to 2005 is unexplained" and concluded that, "the government of China and its agencies in numerous parts of the country, in particular hospitals but also detention centres and 'people's courts', since 1999 have put to death a large but unknown number of Falun Gong prisoners of conscience."

Appendix 16 of the Kilgour-Matas report discusses the Sujiatun issue and refutes Wu's comments. Appendix 18 of the report is the transcript of an interview David Kilgour had with the ex-wife of a Chinese surgeon who removed corneas from about 2000 Falun Gong practitioners at the hospital.
