Two green corridors were created in the State capital on Friday to transport a heart and a kidney from a 20-year-old youth who was declared brain-dead after he met with an accident on December 19.
The first green corridor was created for a heart transplant from a private hospital to the airport which took about 19 minutes to cover a distance of 25 km in the city.
The second green corridor was for the kidney which was scheduled to be sent to a private hospital in Indore.
Dr Sanket lahari Medical Superintendent of Bansal Hospital said that the organs were of a 20-year old youth who was declared brain-dead after sustaining injuries in a road accident on December 19. The youth was declared brain dead today morning and the victim's family later agreed for the organ donation after which the receivers of the organs were searched.
"While his heart has been flown to Mumbai in the afternoon for a transplant at Fortis hospital, his kidney and liver gave life to two patients at Bansal hospital itself. Another green corridor was created to transport the kidney to Indore for a patient admitted at Choithram Hospital," lahari said.
Traffic police made elaborate arrangements to regulate the traffic on the two green corridors.
