Garuda Aerospace, on Friday, signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Narayana Health for transporting bio-medical supplies, marking its foray into the medical sector.
The partnership announcement came on the final day of Aero India 2023 and aims to revolutionise the delivery of critical and emergency medical supplies including samples for diagnosis in times of high traffic and other challenging conditions.
Garuda Aerospace will use its newly launched med-copter Sanjeevani drone for this purpose. Sanjeevani operates Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) and has a payload capacity of 20-25 kilograms, with an endurance of 15-20 minutes.
