Hyderabad: The traffic police facilitated the transport of live organs (lungs) by providing a green channel to the ambulance within the city limits of Tuesday. To facilitate the non-stop movement of the live organs between two jurisdictions, the Hyderabad traffic cops coordinated with Cyberabad traffic police and ensured that the entire stretch between RGIA in Shamshabad to KIMS hospital in Begumpet, was covered within 27 minutes.
The reason they are provided a seamless ride is to preserve the live organs kept in cold boxes and to make sure that the success rate of the surgery remains high. By ensuring the organs reach the recipient at the earliest, medical team as well as cops can avoid wastage of organs harvested from patients who are declared brain-dead. TNN
