A donor heart was transported nearly 20 kilometres from Hindon Airport in Ghaziabad to Fortis Hospital in Noida’s Sector 62 in just 16 minutes after traffic police created a green corridor for the ambulance carrying the organ.
The heart, donated by a woman in Chandigarh, was flown to Hindon Airport by air ambulance before being taken by road to Fortis Hospital, where doctors successfully transplanted it into a 62-year-old patient, officials said.
