Pourquoi c'est important
Chen Yao-li, a well-known liver transplant surgeon in Taiwan, was found to have illegally brokered nine Taiwanese patients for organ transplant surgeries in China. This practice generated significant illegal profits for him. The legal framework in Taiwan was updated in 2015 to criminalize such activities.
國內換肝名醫陳堯俐涉嫌在彰化基督教醫院任職期間,非法仲介九名台灣病患赴中國進行肝臟及腎臟移植手術,賺取仲介費一四六六萬元,去年彰化地院以違反「人體器官移植條例」罪判二年徒刑,緩刑五年,並需向公庫支付五百萬。
近日衛福部依同法廢止陳堯俐的醫師執照,成為國內首例因非法器官仲介遭廢照醫師。
緩刑5年 需向公庫支付500萬
陳堯俐自二〇〇八年起即與生物科技公司負責人黃孟鈞合作,仲介病患至中國湖南中南大學湘雅三醫院進行肝臟移植,因病患術後死亡,彰化縣衛生局認定違反醫師法「執行業務違背醫學倫理」規定,但彰化縣醫師懲戒委員會決議不予懲戒。
二〇一二年,陳堯俐又仲介病患到同醫院進行肝臟移植,結果手術失敗,病患當場死亡。
5人移植肝臟 5年內陸續離世
二〇一五年立院修訂「人體器官移植條例」,將非法仲介行為由行政罰改為刑事責任,但陳堯俐與黃孟鈞仍陸續仲介九名病患到中國移植器官,其中六名病患到山東青島市醫院、三名病患到湖南長沙市醫院,陳堯俐向每位病患收取九十萬元仲介費,並親赴中國手術室指導。
這九名病患中,接受肝臟移植的五人,有一人花了一四〇〇萬元,其中七四六萬元都落入陳堯俐的口袋,但術後不到二週即去世,另外有三人不到二年內過世,最後一人也於術後五年內離世。
石崇良:首例因仲介移植遭廢證
衛福部長石崇良表示,過去曾有醫師因重大違法行為遭廢證,例如以假檢體冒充癌症病患詐領保險給付,或涉及毒品使用等案件,但因仲介器官移植遭廢證者,陳堯俐為首例,具指標意義。
衛福部醫事司副司長劉玉菁表示,衛福部已於五月廿七日寄發廢止醫師證書裁處書,未來陳堯俐不得執行任何醫療業務。
對於器官移植議題,肝病防治學術基金會董事長許金川表示,許多末期肝病患者在台灣苦等不到適合器官,呼籲民眾落實肝病早期發現與早期治療,每年至少接受一次腹部超音波檢查,及早掌握肝臟健康狀況,避免走到器官移植這最後一步。
