Infrastructure limitation in the form of roads makes distribution of goods and mobility of Rwandans in running activities to be difficult. Especially when it comes to health issues such as blood delivery to remote hospitals.
This challenge is increasingly complex when the terrain conditions are difficult to pass, even by special vehicles though.
For this reason the Rwandan government announced a partnership with a US startup, Zipline to carry out an unmanned drone dispatch program or drone containing a blood bag.
Later this blood bag will be useful for patients treated in hospitals in areas that are difficult to reach.
Drones from Zipline itself has been designed to be able to do the task. Its speed can reach 100 kilometers per hour and can send hundreds of packets every day.
The mechanism is simple enough, the doctor sends a message whether it's an SMS or phone to a blood storage warehouse, then the desired blood type will be sent to the destination using a Zip drone.
Drone flies with computer control, when it is above the destination point he will remove his bag of blood and will fall with a parachute.
About two minutes before Zip arrives, the doctor who orders will receive information that the drone has approached the destination and is expected to have someone waiting for the arrival of a blood bag outside.
Next automatically drone back to the starting location it was launched. A total of 20 hospitals in Rwanda will receive this service.
Expected with such a program will save more
