Using Drones to Expand Healthcare Delivery

The CSIS Bipartisan Alliance for Global Health Security hosts a discussion on Zipline’s drone delivery network for life-saving medical products across key African partner countries, including Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, and Rwanda. The company’s on-demand supply chain has expanded access to vaccines, emergency blood products, and other treatments, especially in hard-to-reach rural areas.

The discussion reflects on Zipline’s work to expand its delivery network, its partnership with African governments and the U.S. State Department, and lessons learned about emerging technologies for health access. J. Stephen Morrison, Senior Vice President and Director of the CSIS Global Health Policy Center, moderates with Caitlin Burton, CEO of Zipline’s International Business.
