Hailing from Assam, the 11 year old recipient is a heart failure patient and was being treated at Narayana Health City. As her condition was not improving, she was advised to undergo a heart transplant. The other recipient who is a 9 year old girl was being treated for liver failure at Narayana Health City during which she was also advised to undergo a liver transplant.

The heart and the liver were retrieved by a team of doctors and were transported from Sparsh Hospital, Yeshwantpur to Narayana Health City, Hosur Road with the help of a green corridor. The distance of 64 kms was covered in a span of 44 minutes.

Appreciating the support offered by the Traffic Police Department, Joseph Pasangha, COO, Narayana Health City, said, “We would like to thank the entire team of Bangalore Traffic police for their continuous support in organizing Green Corridor every time a live organ is transported and also thankful to the donor family who came forward to donate the organs.”
