Description
Through a partnership with Gavi and UPS, the company started a blood-delivery service in Rwanda in 2016 that uses drones to deliver medical products to remote, hard to reach areas in a matter of minutes, versus a matter of hours or days. Zipline now delivers two-fifths of the country’s blood supply outside the capital, and it announced over the summer that it would scale to the rest of Rwanda as well as to neighbouring Tanzania, where more than two-thirds of the population live in rural areas.
