Green Corridor
Green corridors make sure that there is no organ waste. A ‘Green Corridor’ is a special route making the route of the hospital where an organ is harvested and the hospital where it is to be transplanted, traffic-free. It is a manually operated route. Organs have a short preservation time and Green Corridors ensure that the ambulance escapes traffic congestion and reaches the destination in the shortest possible time.
The concept of the Green Corridor in India was first used in Chennai. An ambulance carried a heart to save the life of 21 year old and covered a distance of 12 km in just 14 minutes which generally would have taken more than 45 minutes.
In the green corridor system, green corridor ambulance collaborates with the traffic department to transport a vital organ in less than 60-70% of the time that is usually taken to go from place A to place B.
The green corridor in India is a special path that is created without any stoppages for ambulances. It ensures that, during transit, organs arrive at their specified destination within the shortest possible time.
It is managed in a way that all the traffic signals that lie on the route are green and controlled manually. On the green corridor, all the red signals on the route are skipped. It will reduce travel time by several precious minutes. The earlier an organ is transplanted the better chances of success.
