About 2:30 hours were taken for transporting the heart from Indore’s hospital to the Mumbai’s hospital. Another corridor was created for a stretch of more than 4.5 km from Shalby Hospital to Apollo Hospital to transport kidney to a patient while the third corridor was prepared to 7-km to Choithram Hospital for transporting kidneys,” activist of Muskan Group Jeetu Bagani said.
