He arranged a free charter flight for these 12 children, along with their family members, that landed in Delhi on Saturday. The children, natives of Manila and Cebu City, have been admitted to Max Super Speciality Hospital and Indraprastha Apollo Hospital for the transplant, Sood told IANS. "Five of them were admitted to Max while seven to the Apollo Hospital," Sood said, noting that he was contacted to rescue 18 Filipino infants in mid-July, but only 12 made it. But ever since the lockdown began, these sick children have been awaiting a liver transplant. They were in a grave health condition, and delay in treatment any further would have serious health implications," said Neerav Goyal, Head of Apollo`s liver transplant, Hepatobiliary, and Pancreatic unit.
