Soon, Covid vaccines may be delivered by drones. Ask Telangana
It sounds like a scenario from a sci-fi movie. An unmanned drone being loaded up with Covid-19 vaccines and flying from a district hospital in Telangana to a remote primary health centre. On the return journey the drone’s temperature-controlled boxes are loaded with blood and other samples for analysis at the district hospital.
Such scenes are about to become commonplace in the not-too-distant future in Telangana where trial-flights with eight drone companies have just ended. Other states in northeast India too are conducting similar trials in difficult-to-reach hilly areas.
