Mumbai:<\/strong> In a powerful reminder of how compassion can triumph over tragedy, the heart of a 38-year-old brain-dead woman was successfully transported across Mumbai in just 17 minutes<\/strong>, giving a new lease of life to a critically ill patient awaiting a heart transplant.<\/p>\n\n

The donor, admitted to Mahaveer Jain Hospital<\/strong> in Thane<\/strong>, was declared brain-dead after suffering a hypertensive cranial bleed<\/strong>. Following confirmation by a panel of medical experts, her family took the brave and selfless decision to donate her organs \u2014 transforming their personal loss into hope for many others.<\/p>\n\n

Seamless coordination, swift action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

A specialised organ retrieval team was immediately mobilised. With close coordination between hospital authorities and the Mumbai Traffic Police<\/strong>, a green corridor<\/strong> was created to ensure uninterrupted movement of the donor heart.<\/p>\n\n

The heart was retrieved at 5:00 pm<\/strong> and transported swiftly to Dr. L H Hiranandani Hospital<\/strong> in Powai<\/strong>, reaching the destination by 5:17 pm<\/strong> \u2014 a crucial time frame that made the life-saving transplant possible.<\/p>\n\n

New hope for a critically ill patient<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

As per Zonal Transplant Coordination Centre (ZTCC)<\/strong> norms, the heart was allocated to a 60-year-old man suffering from end-stage heart failure.<\/strong> Doctors confirmed that the transplant surgery is currently underway, and the patient is being closely monitored.<\/p>\n\n

A message beyond medicine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Sameer Kulkarni<\/strong>, CEO of Dr. L H Hiranandani Hospital, highlighted the urgent need for greater awareness about organ donation.<\/p>\n\n

He noted that over 80,000 patients in India are currently waiting for organ transplants<\/strong>, while the country\u2019s donor rate remains below one donor per million population<\/strong>. Although India recorded its highest-ever number of organ transplants in 2024<\/strong>, the demand continues to far exceed availability.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cOrgan donation gives people a second chance at life. One donor can save up to eight lives and improve many more through tissue donation. It is one of the most powerful acts of humanity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n

A legacy of life<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

This successful green corridor operation stands as a testament to medical teamwork, administrative efficiency, and above all, the extraordinary courage of a family that chose hope amid heartbreak \u2014 ensuring that even in death, life continues.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
