Innovative solutions such as drones will ensure that even the most remote communities receive the vaccines, medicines and lab sample services they need to thrive.
KINSHASA – Today, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) officially launched its routine drone delivery operations to reach remote communities in the Équateur province. Through the “Drones for Health” Program, drones ensure fast turnaround transport of lifesaving vaccines, medicines, and other health products as well as laboratory samples and test results to reduce the burden of infectious diseases and prevent their spread. As the need for a rapid transportation service arises with the COVID-19 pandemic, the integration of drone technology as an additional modality into the health system comes at a critical time.
