Overview

• Multiple civil protection, emergency medical, and security agencies coordinated road closures on the Ecovía and Avenida Lincoln near José María Cándida to secure the helicopter’s landing zone.
• The donated heart arrived at Monterrey’s Mariano Escobedo International Airport before being loaded onto a Protección Civil helicopter bound for IMSS Hospital de Alta Especialidad 34.
• This mission marked the fourth emergency aerial transport of a heart to Nuevo León in 2025 under the state’s interagency protocol.
• At 16:03, medical staff moved the organ in a temperature-controlled cooler directly from the helicopter to an operating room for immediate transplantation.
• Officials are refining interagency procedures and calling for greater public organ donation to meet ongoing transplant needs.
