  • Abstract:
  • Delivering healthcare for hard-to-reach areas has been a long-standing and unsolvable problem. Drones have emerged as a potential solution for this problem. Initial experiments in Africa, US and Europe have provided promising results, that medical drones can reduce delivery times and costs by a significant margin. These results are particularly promising for emergency care and vaccine distribution. India is in a similar position with hard-to-reach areas and the unmet need for emergency care. India also benefits from a strong telecom and technology infrastructure which can aid development and deployment of medical drones. Pilot projects under the “Medicine from the Sky” initiative in India have completed hundreds of flights for delivering medical supplies to hard-to-reach communities, which are documented in the World Economic Forum report on Indian drone delivery healthcare. These projects have proven that drones can help bridge the logistics gaps and infrastructure bottlenecks involved in surface-based transportation.
