A heart was transported from Vadodara to Mumbai on June 7 and transplanted in another patient in only 2.22 hours at Global Hospitals in Mumbai.
The heart was harvested in a hospital in Vadodara by a team from Global Hospitals, Parel, who then transported it to a hospital in Mumbai for a successful transplant, saving a life. The live heart was safely transported from Vadodara to Mumbai by an IndiGo crew.
“The heart transplant went off well and the patient is recovering. Hopefully, the patient will be discharged next week,” said Vivek Talaulikar, CEO of Global Hospitals.
Ronojoy Dutta, chief executive officer of IndiGo, said, “We are honoured to support the team of Global Hospitals in transferring the live organ (heart), on time to the recipient through safe and efficient logistics. Every life is precious, and IndiGo appreciates the opportunity to have contributed to saving one. I would also like to congratulate our airport staff at Vadodara and Mumbai, and crew members who contributed to this effort.”
