Chinese Communist Party (CCP) control is embedded throughout the Chinese medical establishment and organ transplant sector and has tightened since 2018, raising serious doubts over official claims of comprehensive reform.
There are no independent mechanisms for supervision or accountability in the transplant system within the People’s Republic of China (PRC). The national transplant oversight body, professional association, and organ procurement organizations are dominated by CCP members or operate under a Party-led hospital hierarchy.
Across 12 provinces, 19 identified transplant surgeons or center directors are CCP members, including six who hold senior Party leadership positions. These doctors are bound by a lifelong oath to remain loyal to the party and protect its secrets.
