Even if a critical organ like heart is harvested from a brain dead victim on time, it becomes crucial that the harvested organ reaches the needy on time. Due to the time and travel constraints, in many situations harvested organs are usually transported to the victims of hospitals within the reach. But many times, there might be a patient somewhere outside the locale who will need the organ desperately as he might be counting hours.
