Transplant Facilities Greatly Expanded in Xinjiang—For More Organ Harvesting?

10 months ago

On July 3, the International Coalition to End Transplant Abuse in China (ETAC) raised alarms about a worrying trend: the potential increase in forced organ harvesting from Uyghurs. This concern follows a recent announcement by health officials in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region about plans to greatly expand their organ transplant facilities. The official announcement details a new plan to build six more organ transplant hospitals in Xinjiang by the year 2030. Critics are worried that this expansion is excessive and lacks the necessary transparency, especially given China’s troubling history of forced organ harvesting.
