Dubai Now Delivers Medicines Using Drones
A Dubai hospital has successfully delivered medicine to a patient using a flying drone.
Medical delivery by drone is a potentially life-saving service, which can get essential medicine to those in need quickly and efficiently.
It also has the benefit of cutting emissions and improving medical access in hard-to-reach areas.
The completion of the first successful trial of medical delivery via drones was staged at Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO).
The completion of the trial makes Fakeeh University Hospital the first healthcare provider in the Middle East to leverage drone technology for medication delivery.
