Drone Solutions launches medical delivery service in Zimbabwe, expanding to Malawi, Mozambique, and DRC
via NewsDay Zimbabwe5 min read
Drone Solutions, a local logistics firm, has initiated a nationwide drone delivery program in Zimbabwe to address critical gaps in healthcare supply chains. The service aims to reduce delivery times for essential medicines to under 30 minutes, particularly benefiting remote and hard-to-reach communities affected by poor road infrastructure and seasonal cut-offs. The initiative will prioritize time-sensitive cargo such as vaccines, blood products, pathology samples, anti-rabies treatments, and maternal health medicines, ensuring clinical precision and zero spoilage. The Zimbabwe program is expected to create up to 200 jobs, including drone pilots and technicians, and will be supported by Drone University, a Civil Aviation Authority of Zimbabwe-licensed training institution. In a regional expansion, Drone Solutions is also taking over drone delivery operations in Malawi, Mozambique, and the Democratic Republic of Congo to establish an integrated cross-border medical logistics network for urgent cargo like anti-venom and blood samples.
