Country Manager of Zipline Ghana, Naa Adorkor Yawson has revealed that, the inclusion of Zipline’s medical drone delivery technology into the nation’s medical logistic supply system, is addressing the challenge of access to healthcare delivery and aiding Ghana on the road to achieving Universal Healthcare Coverage.
In her estimation, the country, just like many others in the sub-region, faces major challenges of access to Universal healthcare delivery resulting in several mortality rates, especially in areas of child and maternal mortality. However, with the introduction of the Zipline technology in Ghana, these identified challenges have seen incredible improvement, aiding the country on the road to achieving Universal Healthcare coverage.
“In order to help alleviate identified challenges of access in the health sector, the government has made several investments, both capital and infrastructural, to protect people from bottlenecks of getting access to medical healthcare delivery. One of such bold investments is the adoption of the Ziplines Technology to deliver medical commodities to communities, including those that are hard-to-reach. Today, more than 2500 health facilities across the country can access various medical products, including COVID-19 vaccines on-demand, no matter the location”, Naa Adorkor Yawson said.
