organ transplant

It is said that the greatest gift is the gift of life. This saying is exemplified by what Tamil Nadu's 26-year-old Masilamani did to save a four-month old baby.

The ‘LifeBox,’ according to the IISc researchers, is a system that extends the preservation time of the organ, specifically the heart for now, and allows for increased travel time and distances.

The heart had been flown from Mangaluru to Bengaluru on February 21, and a “green corridor” ensured that the organ reached the hospital on time.

Late Rajesh Pillai's Bollywood movie Traffic highlights how 'green corridor' organ transplants can save many lives. It requires precise coordination between traffic police and hospitals to transport harvested organs in the least amount of time via road.
