UPS Foundation, Zipline & Gavi Head Towards Life-Saving Mission

#artificialintelligence

The UPS Foundation is expanding its work with Zipline and Gavi, to leverage drones to deliver lifesaving blood, medicines and vaccines to remote communities. Zipline is a California-based robotics company and Gavi is the Vaccine Alliance, and the global partnership with the two has resulted in more than 4000 drone deliveries expediting over 7000 units of blood to remote hospitals across Rwanda. "This groundbreaking partnership with Gavi and Zipline provides access to lifesaving medical supplies in only minutes, rather than hours, for millions of men, women and children in need," says Eduardo Martinez, President of the UPS Foundation. "With this expansion, the reach of drone program will double from 6 million to 12 million people across Rwanda," added Martinez.
