As part of India’s national initiative to promote the development of the drone ecosystem, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) is currently undertaking a feasibility assessment in the Lahaul and Spiti districts of Himachal Pradesh.
This initiative aims to explore the use of drones for transporting critical medical supplies such as medications, diagnostic blood samples, and sputum, according to an official release.
Drones are increasingly crucial in healthcare, particularly for swift deliveries of vaccines, medications, and supplies to remote areas in emergencies.
