Drones Have Transformed Blood Delivery in Rwanda
24 Apr 2022 | Abstracted from Arstechnica
" Writing in the April issue of Lancet Global Health, Nisingizwe analyzed nearly 13,000 drone orders between 2017 and 2019 and found that half of the orders took 41 minutes or less to deliver by drone. On the road, that median time would be at least two hours. Reports of wasted blood donations dropped."
Addendum
"The zero-emission quiet flights can go as far as 300 kilometers (186 miles) and are inexpensive compared to other modes of transport, according to Zipline, based in South San Francisco, California." -- ABC NewsSee also: https://www.inc.com/will-yakowicz/zipline-starts-blood-delivery-rwanda.html
