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 2006, it was alleged 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, The Epoch Times reported that as many as 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners were being held for live organ harvesting. 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.

Dissident human rights activist, Harry Wu, said that "without concrete and substantiated evidence, such reports are not credible". U.S. officials investigated the hospital and found no evidence that it was being used for organ harvesting or detaining prisoners.

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.
