Indore: A green corridor of about 200 km was created between Bhopal and Indore in Madhya Pradesh to transport a kidney extracted from a brain-dead person, officials said on Tuesday.
Police have been involved in creating green corridors by clearing traffic for ambulances to transport organs.
Dr. Rakesh Bhargava, member of the state level authorization committee for organ donation, said in a conversation that Harishankar Dhimole (56), a government primary school teacher in Sagar district, had suffered brain hemorrhage and was brought to Bansal Hospital in Bhopal. On 12th April.
"Dhimole was declared brain dead during treatment, and after his family agreed to donate his organs, his kidneys were removed on Monday," he said.
Dr Bhargava said that while one kidney was transplanted to a needy patient at Bansal Hospital, the other kidney was transported through the green corridor to a patient at Choithram Hospital in Indore.
Dr Amit Bhatt, deputy director (health services) of Choithram Hospital, said, "Due to the green corridor, it took only two hours and 45 minutes to transport the kidney from Bhopal to Indore, whereas it used to take three and a half to four minutes." It took hours to cover this distance."
Dhimole's son Himanshu said, "My father's organ donation has given new life to two patients. It is a matter of pride for our family. We cannot express this feeling in words."
