US drone delivery aids Rwanda healthcare, but infrastructure gaps and aid cuts pose risks

US company Zipline has been delivering medical supplies via drone in Rwanda since 2016, operating from distribution centres that serve hospitals across the country. The drones carry blood, vaccines, and medicines, with deliveries taking minutes compared to hours by road. The service has contributed to reducing maternal mortality. Government data shows deaths during childbirth fell from 1,000 per 100,000 women 26 years ago to 87 today. A new US grant will expand coverage, part of the Trump administration's approach promoting American businesses in global health work. However, the US has simultaneously cut $200 million in funding for aid groups providing food and health services in Rwanda. Healthcare workers note that whilst drone delivery is valuable, poor infrastructure including inadequate roads, electricity, and equipment at local clinics remains a significant challenge.
