The city witnessed its 10th successful heart transplant surgery on a 48-year-old female, who was suffering from Dilated Cardiomyopathy, on Wednesday.

The woman was gifted a new lease of life by a 50-year-old female, who was declared brain dead after she suffered a head injury in a train accident, and was being treated at a hospital in Thane. The family consented to donate her organs to save lives of five deserving recipients through her heart, kidneys, liver and corneas. The transportation of the donor heart between the two hospitals was completed in 8 minutes covering a distance of over 12 kms.
