Vande Bharat Express completes India's first organ run, saving four lives in Ahmedabad

In a historic first, a human heart was transported aboard a Vande Bharat Express train in India. The organ belonged to Mithun Swain, whose family chose to donate his organs after his death. The heart was successfully delivered to Ahmedabad, where it was used in a life-saving transplant. Indian Railways and the Gujarat government jointly coordinated the logistics of the critical organ run. In total, Swain's donation gave four individuals a renewed chance at life.
