L&T Hyderabad Metro Rail (L&TMRH) created a green channel for the transportation of a harvested heart post Sunday midnight in the quickest possible time to save a life following a ‘SOS’ request from Apollo Hospitals, Jubilee Hills.
A special train was pressed into service to transport the beating heart from Nagole to Jubilee Hills Check Post Metro Station. A panel of doctors, along with other medicos from the Kamineni Hospital, L.B. Nagar, brought the harvested heart to the Nagole Metro Station at around 1 a.m.
The live heart was then immediately rushed inside the waiting metro train. In a span of about 25 minutes, the special train reached the Jubilee Hills Check Post where the ambulance of Apollo Jubilee Hills was waiting to receive the live organ and the medical team. The entire activity was seamlessly handled by the metro and security officials on Corridor 3 (Blue Line between Nagole and Raidurg).
