Coronavirus: How drones in Africa could become life-savers
8th April 2020
Here is a hopeful article about the future of healthcare in sub-Saharan Africa.
It looks at the implications of using drones to deliver essential medical supplies.
In Rwanda, commercial service Zipline started delivering blood in 2016, although technically it is classed as a government flight. However, other African entrepreneurs have now entered the market, notably Lifebank, in Nigeria, and there are calls for a closer look at regulation of the sector, to permit drops of essential supplies in areas with poor infrastructure.
