Chennai traffic stops for timely heart transplant to save a life...

Praise is pouring in for the Chennai Police, who, along with a team of doctors from two hospitals ensured that an ambulance carrying a donor heart could be transported in the nick of time. The donor heart was transported from the Rajiv Gandhi Government Hospital to the Fortis Malar Hospital 12 kilometres away.

With 26 policemen stationed at different intersections, the ambulance transporting the heart was given a green corridor, ensuring that it reached within 14 minutes.

It was a relief for the family of 21-year-old Hvovi Minocherhomji who was suffering from end-stage heart failure and had waited over a month for a donor for their daughter.

"I am aware that there are patients waiting for two or three months for a transplant. We have to thank the donor's family. It takes great courage when you have lost someone to think of somebody else. I thank the mother a lot and I hope god gives her courage to bear this loss," Patient's Mother Amaity Minocherhomji said. Full story...
