Jan 3, Agencies: In what is becoming the norm for Bengaluru police, another 'green corridor' was created for safe transportation of the live heart of a brain dead person from MS Ramaiah Hospital in North Bengaluru to BGS Global Hospital in Kengeri.

The patient reported to be 21, had met with an accident near Jalahalli on January 1st and declared brain dead the next day. The authorities at MS Ramaiah Hospital had spoken to the family members about possible organ donations.

As reported in TOI, a matching recipient was found in BGS global hospital, where a 29 year old man, suffering from cardiac ailment had registered with Zonal Coordination Committee of Karnataka seeking heart transplant.

The 30 km route was completed in 15 minutes thanks to the preparedness of the police.

In December the police had created another 'green corridor' for safe transportation of the heart on a two years ten months old brain dead child which was taken from Manipal Hospital here to a Chennai hospital to transplant it to a child there.

    GZT Kunte, Udupi is right this is nothing but a "Drama" or have a light chopper/ helicopter to do this work or else one day the transporters of this heart may end up being donors or the other road users!!

    This is really a great Humanitarian work.
    But Why the donor and the donee were not brought together in the same hospital and then operated upon, instead of keeping them in two different hospitals far away and conducting operation separately with time gap ?
    Whether this 'Green corridor Road drama' is really required to give enormous publicity to two private hospitals at public cost ?
    I understand that in USA many such heart transplant is done regularly, but it is done at the same Hospital after bringing together the doner & donee and without any such hyper Publicity.
