Nearly a month ago a 17-year-old girl Nandini Shah from Halol was declared brain dead and the family donated her heart, lungs, two kidneys, two eyes, and liver. The heart was transported to Delhi and lungs to Mumbai by air with the help of a green corridor created by Vadodara City Traffic Police as the ambulance covered the 6.8 km distance from the hospital to Harni Airport in 8 minutes. Kidneys, eyes, and liver were transported to Ahmedabad IKD by a green corridor. This was the first case in Vadodara of donating 7 organs simultaneously.
