Mumbai Heart Transplant

In heartening news from Mumbai, a 56-year-old heart transplant patient, who had suffered a stroke, multiple organ failure and pneumonia because of COVID-19, has successfully fought off the deadly disease in just one week.

A heart harvested from a 42-year-old man in Mumbai was today transported aerially and through green corridors to a hospital in Delhi, covering a distance of about 1,100 km in over two-and-a-half hours, officials said.

A heart, retrieved from a 13-year-old who had died in an accident, was transported from Aurangabad to Mumbai and transplanted to a four-year-old girl.

A hospital in Mumbai completed two successful heart transplants over a period of four hours on Thursday. The survivors included 24-year old college student and a 58-year old man, both critical patients of dilated cardiomyopathy.
