Green Corridor is a system developed for speedy organ transport. ZTCC Pune collaborates with the Police and Traffic Department to transfer organs in less than 60-70% of the time it usually takes to travel from point A to point B.

A green corridor is a delineated, cleared special road route provided for an ambulance that enables recovered organs that are ready for transplantation to reach their destination hospital. This requires a great level of coordination between ZTCC, Police and Traffic officials. Organs have a limited cold ischemic (preservation) time, and green corridors ensure that the ambulance avoids traffic congestion and arrives at its destination as quickly as possible.

Average Preservation Time for Organs,

• Heart: 4 to 6 hours
• Lungs: 4 to 8 hours
• Intestines: 6 to 10 hours
• Liver: 12 to 15 hours
• Pancreas: 12 to 24 hours
• Kidney: 24 to 48 hours

Furthermore, studies show that the shorter the time between harvest and transplant, the higher the chances of a successful operation. This emphasises the importance of timely transportation.

ZTCC Pune has transported 125+ organs through Green Corridor since August 2015. We have transported organs from Pune to Mumbai in a record break time of 90min. We have sent organs via Green Corridor to Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and we have brought organs from various cities like Nashik, Nanded, Kolhapur, Solapur, Aurangabad, Mumbai, etc.
