Cadaveric organ donation got a boost in the city on Wednesday with three zero-traffic green corridors created on a single day to transport vital organs from different hospitals. Authorities from Jeevasarthakathe, the State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation, which is the nodal agency that facilitates cadaver organ donations, said this is the first time that three green corridors had been created on a single day. There were back-to-back organ donations since Tuesday evening and two green corridors were also created on Tuesday night - one in Mangaluru and another in Bengaluru. While a first zero-traffic green corridor was created from Manipal Hospital, Udupi, to Mangaluru airport, another was created from Bengaluru airport to Aster RV hospital,” said Lijamol Joseph, Jeevasarthakathe Chief Transplant Coordinator.
