Surat Police’s Remarkable Initiative: Green Corridors for Organ Transplantation
In December 2015, Surat City Police created Gujarat’s first Green Corridor to transport a heart to Mumbai for transplantation – a landmark initiative in the state..
Donate Life initiates the process by discussing with the Surat police department, ensuring every necessary step is taken to transport organs on time.
Notably, Surat City Police was the first in the country to release a standard operating procedure (SOP) in February 2016 for Green Corridors, underscoring their commitment to saving lives.
Surat City Police has set a commendable example by creating over 137 Green Corridors to facilitate the smooth transportation of vital organs for transplantation.
These Green Corridors ensure timely transport of organs, significantly increasing the success rate of transplants. This initiative plays a crucial role in supporting Donate Life’s mission and boosting organ transplantation in India.
Surat City Police’s SOP for Green Corridors set a precedent for other cities to follow.
Donate Life extends heartfelt thanks to Surat City Police & Gujarat Police for their dedication and support in creating these life-saving Green Corridors. We also appreciate the contribution of Surat Airport Authority in facilitating speedy takeoffs and landings.
