Drones are delivering medicine in Africa

GURUGRAM, India - Feb. 13, 2020 - PRLog -- A drone delivery service will make around 600 flights each day in Rwanda to deliver medicines, blood supplies and vaccines to 12 million people, including those living in remote areas.

Launched in 2016, a robotics company based in California called Zipline started the delivery service in Rwanda with a grant from Ghana's government. Since the launch, 13,000 successful deliveries were made.

Each drone can carry 1.8kg and releases its payload with the help of a parachute.

Will drone medicine delivery change the way healthcare is administered?

Spire Research and Consulting was established in 2000 to address a gap in the research and consulting industry in global emerging markets. Unlike most agencies that focus on traditional consumer research, our founders saw a profound need for holistic research projects.

These projects integrate traditional customer research with knowledge of the broader business eco-system; for instance, competitors, channels, legal and regulatory factors. They support strategic decision-making for market growth and entry. Our studies provide indispensable tools for creating business plans, setting sales quotas, quantifying budgets and investment as well as making product launch decisions.

Spire exists to undertake such projects with distinction.
