New Delhi: Three green corridors experts and Delhi Police created from Max Healthcare's hospital in Shalimar Bagh to Max hospitals in Patparganj and Saket and to a Vasant Kunj liver institute have saved six lives in the Capital.


The feat were achieved around 9 p.m. on June 10. The first green corridor was over 32 km long from Max Hospital Shalimar Bagh to Max Hospital, Patparganj; the second stretched 40 km to Max Hospital, Saket; and the third was 38 km long to the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS) at Vasant Kunj, Max Healthcare said.


While one kidney harvested from the cadaver of a 57-year-old woman -- a resident of Sonepat in Haryana -- was transplanted in Max Super Speciality Hospital, Shalimar Bagh itself, her other kidney and heart were transported to Patparganj and Saket, respectively.
