Another lung transplantation gives new lease of life to a 53-year-old patient at KIMS Hospitals

Hyderabad, September 05, 2020: A distance of 11 kms covered in 8 minutes, thanks to the green channel given by Traffic Police Dept, gave a new lease of life to a 53-year-old patient suffering from Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) in Hyderabad.

A 43-year-old person met with an unfortunate road traffic accident and was declared braindead at Apollo hospitals, Hyderabad. His family relatives set aside their grief and came forward to donate his organs and give a new lease of life to the needy. Telangana’s Jeevandana foundation In-charge Dr.Swarnalatha quickly swung into action and facilitated the entire process.

A green corridor was formed to avoid traffic delays in the transportation of Lungs from Apollo hospitals to KIMS Heart and Lung Transplant Institute and the transplantation was done successfully.

This is the third consecutive lung transplantation at KIMS Heart and Lung Transplant Institute in the COVID-19 pandemic time in the last one month.
