A medical staff carrying a storage cooler containing donor lungs boards a helicopter in Guangzhou on Sunday. Shenzhen People's Hospital deployed the helicopter for the organ air transport mission, which took half an hour. This marked the first helicopter-assisted lung transport in Shenzhen, with the organs having been successfully transplanted into a 73-year-old man suffering from pulmonary fibrosis.
