Medical Drone Delivery Service In Ghana Launched by naijapikin04(m): 2:16pm On Apr 25, 2019 |
Ghana’s Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, on Wednesday, launched the first ever medical drone delivery service in Ghana, and the largest of such drone delivery network in the world, at Omenako, near Suhum, in the Eastern region. The ‘Fly-To-Save-A-Life Project’, a collaboration between the Ministry of Health and Zipline Technologies, will provide a rapid response to medical emergencies, especially in hard to reach areas, through the flying of unmanned drones to supply 12 routine and emergency services as well as 148 lifesaving medical products selected by the Ministry of Health. The Omenako Service Centre, the first of four planned centres, will supply these products to facilities located in the whole of the Eastern Region, and parts of the Volta, Ashanti, Central and Greater Accra Regions. Three other centres are expected to be completed this year to cover most of Ghana. The service will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Each centre will be 100% staffed by Ghanaian engineers, health care professionals and logistics personnel, and paid for by the private sector through their corporate social responsibility obligations with no cost to government. Speaking almost a year to the day since the possibility of setting up a medical drone service in Ghana was broached to him, an elated Vice President Bawumia said the successful launch of the service is yet another example of the triumph of innovation, especially in the use of technology, being championed by the Nana Akufo-Addo government. Vice President Bawumia was especially delighted that such innovation was being applied to improve access to health care to deprived and hard-to-reach communities, as it forms part of Government’s strategy to reduce inequality and hardships by ensuring the inclusion of every Ghanaian irrespective of status in national development. “One of the biggest pillars of this government has been how to grow this country without leaving anyone behind; inclusiveness. And one of the ways we are working on is how to use technology to advance our development, improve the ways we do things in our offices, and how to improve citizens’ access to and delivery of the public services they need no matter where they live in this country. “President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is determined to reduce inequality and hardships for every Ghanaian, especially the disadvantaged. That is why we are implementing Free SHS. This determination informed government’s decision to increase the portion of the District Assemblies Common allocated to Persons Living with Disability by 50%. That is why we restored the Nursing and Teacher Training Allowances cancelled by the previous government, set up the Zongo Development Fund, and are constructing dams in northern Ghana through the One Village One Dam to ensure all year round farming. https://nextedition.com.ng/2019/04/25/worlds-largest-medical-drone-delivery-service-takes-off-in-ghana/ 6 Likes

Good one. Ghana should invest her scarce finances on more stuff like this for her people rather than on Notre dame Church France. But I suppose financing the goodwill of France mitigates against a North East Nigeria climate in Ghana thus leaving Ghana the peaceful state she requires in order to invest in her people. Nevertheless shafting your fellow African nations in the back only leads to short term gains or long-term slavery. Given the history of black people, realpolitik should never be justification for the betrayal of any African Nation to an over bloated and self-important West 7 Likes |

mrvitalis: Aside being large in space wherein Nigeria comes first, Ghana leads it West African packs in credible governance, democracy, education quality, health, Human Development Index (HDI), energy per household, security, and even in press freedom. I am glad a black nation from the West African front is leading in these regards, though more still have to be done in improving the qualities of these indicators to meet international best practices. To be candid, being a small economy, Ghana should not spread her resources so thin but rather concentrate in becoming an Information Technology hub in Africa, while ensuring that the core social infrastructures- health, security and education- meet intl. standards. In Nigeria, we know what to do, but has consistently ignored the right path to follow. However, my thanks to the very few Nigerians who still believe in this entity and go about with their legitimate struggles. 47 Likes 2 Shares |
