Kenya to get drones for fast medicine deliveryKenya is among African countries expected to soon start delivery of medical products using drones. Feller Rinaudo, the Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Zipline International, an American medical products delivery company, made the announcement in Ghana during the launch of a medical drone project. “Neighbouring Uganda is equally on course for the futuristic medical delivery system that has saved many lives in Rwanda, where the project was first launched three years ago,” he stated. He said each of the four distribution centres around the country would be equipped with 30 drones that would carry delivery to 2,000 health facilities serving 12 million people. Dr Bawumia urged other African countries to emulate Ghana and Rwanda to save lives through distribution of medical products using drones.
