The Thane-Mumbai green corridor has allowed for a 43-year old woman in Mumbai to recieve a liver transplant on time, with the Green Corridor allowing for 26 kilometres to be covered in 30 minutes.

The Green corridor between Thane and Mumbai allowed for the organ to leave from Jupiter Hospital in Thane at 13:45 and reach Nanavati Hospital at 14:16, covering a distance of 26 kilometres in just 30 minutes.

The 43-year-old woman from Bhopal was rushed to Nanavati Max Hospital, Mumbai, with acute liver failure, severe jaundice, and altered behaviour, indicating neurological involvement.

According to Nanavati Max Hospital in Mumbai, her condition was "rapidly worsening, leaving a very narrow window for treatment."

The hospital has also expressed its sincere gratitude to the family in Thane for saving multiple lives and "restoring hope to those with end-stage organ failure."

Mumbai Traffic police shared the details that the Green Corridor Movement was conducted on March 11, from Jupiter Hospital in Thane to Nanavati Hospital in Vile Parle, Mumbai.

My heart goes out to the donor's family in Thane. In their moment of grief, they chose to give the gift of life. Truly selfless. 🙏 And covering 26km in 30 mins in Mumbai traffic is nothing short of a miracle!

While this is a fantastic success story, it also highlights the massive shortage of organ donors in our country. We need widespread awareness campaigns. One donor can save so many lives.

The logistics and planning behind this must be immense. Huge respect for Dr. Chaubal's team and the traffic police for executing this flawlessly. This is how public services should work.

A 43-year-old woman from Bhopal getting a second chance in Mumbai. This is India's unity in action. Hope she recovers well. More power to the medical infrastructure, though we need it in tier-2 cities too.

This is positive news, but let's be honest, this level of efficiency is an exception, not the norm. We must systemize this process so it's not dependent on heroic efforts for every single case. The system needs to be robust.
