Bengaluru: Doctors in Bengaluru and Chennai collaborated for a very humanitarian cause. The heart of a baby who died in a Bengaluru hospital on Friday was transported to Chennai for transplantation.

The parents of the baby who died in Bengaluru had broken down, but decided that they would want to help another child, so that another life was not lost.

The heart was being flown on a special aeroplane to fly to Chennai, where it is scheduled to be transplanted into a young child. The journey from Bengaluru to Chennai was completed in less than 4 hours.
