Dubai’s Fakeeh University Hospital successfully delivered medication to a patient's home using a drone, according to a statement. The delivery was part of an initial trial carried out by the hospital, using drones from Emirati smart mobility firm Barqair. The trial took place within a 10 km radius, transporting medication from the hospital to a patient’s home in the Dubai Silicon Oasis. The trial comes as part of Dubai’s “program to enable drone transportation,” and allows the hospital to slash response times and deliver medication faster by eliminating traffic-related delays to patients.
