ITANAGAR, Aug 1: Arunachal Pradesh Health and Family Welfare Minister Biyuram Wahge on Friday said that drone technology holds immense potential to revolutionise healthcare delivery in the state’s remote and hilly regions, where timely access to medical aid remains a major challenge.
After attending the sixth International Drone Expo at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi during the day, Wahge said he was “truly inspired by how technology is opening new paths for better healthcare”.
“Drones can play a major role in delivering medicines, vaccines, and blood samples quickly — especially in remote and hilly areas. They can also be very helpful during emergencies when every second counts,” the minister said in a social media post.
