This is for the second time, that HMR has made arrangements for a special green channel to transport a donor heart. A similar initiative was taken-up in February, 2021 when HMR received an SOS call from the Apollo Hospital, Jubilee Hills for transport of a live donor heart.
The transport of live donor heart on Monday also coincided with the handling of special metro train services beyond the business hours of September 25, for the return journey of about 20, 000 spectators who travelled to watch the Indian-Australia cricket match at Uppal stadium.
KVB Reddy, MD and CEO, L&TMRHL expressed his gratitude to doctors and HMR staff who ensured the safe transport of the live organ.
