Thanks to the "green corridor" system, a liver and kidney from a 20-year-old donor were transplanted into two elderly recipients here, an official said.
The organs were rushed via the green corridor extending from the Apollo Gleneagles Hospital to the state-run SSKM Hospital in the state capital on Thursday, state Director of Health Services B.R. Satpathy said.
"The donor was around 20-year-old and the recipients were 50 and 55 years old. This will boost organ donations in Bengal," he told IANS.
