First city-wide medical drone network


Matternet, a global provider of urban drone-delivery solutions based in California, has entered into a partnership with SkyGo, a company from the UAE with knowledge of the Abu Dhabi healthcare landscape and expertise in logistics and distribution in the Gulf region. Together they’ll establish a city-wide drone-delivery network for the rapid transport of medical goods in Abu Dhabi.

40 ‘droneports’, set up in collaboration with Abu Dhabi’s health department, will enable the faster turnaround of diagnostic and pathological samples, more reliable shipment of time-critical supplies, waste reduction thanks to inventory centralisation, and the consolidation of facilities (for example laboratories and chemists) to lower overheads.

The service will grow to a 24/7 operation and become an integral part of the local logistics infrastructure. (ah)
