Live Heart reaches AIIMS from Delhi airport in just 12 mins, thanks to Delhi Traffic Police's green corridor
New Delhi, Dec 25: The Delhi Police on Thursday provided a fast-moving green corridor of over 18 km for an ambulance carrying a live heart from the airport to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here, officials said.
The heart was flown in from Vadodara and took 12 minutes to reach the hospital from the airport Terminal-2, they said.
According to the police, the AIIMS informed them that a human heart under ventricular assist device is being flown from Vadodara to Delhi for heart transplant surgery and that a fast-moving green corridor is required from the airport to AIIMS Hospital to avoid wastage of time.
The traffic police swung into action and immediately deputed officers and a green corridor was planned, a senior police officer said.
