Medicine from the Sky, a new dawn in our Arunachal! In sync with the vision
of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji to use drones to revolutionize
services and make it easier to provide government services, we are firm
in our resolve to do everything possible to improve our people’s ease of
life, which has been at the core of our governance for the last six years.
Relentless in our efforts to take things to the next level of excellence, we
have decided to make the optimum use of drones in areas like healthcare,
agriculture and disaster management in collaboration with the World
Economic Forum.
Pema Khandu, Chief Minister, Arunachal Pradesh, Government of India
Our healthcare sector could potentially witness large-scale deliveries of
long-tail medicines, vaccines, blood and vital organs throughout the country
across terrains with drones in action. As clinical partners in the Medicine
from the Sky initiative, Apollo Hospitals’ HealthNet Global will be responsible
for enabling vaccine and medicine availability and properly monitoring the
adherence of clinical protocols throughout the project.
Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director, Apollo Hospitals
India is at the threshold of a transformative shift in mobility, and advanced
air mobility represents a pivotal step towards unlocking the potential of our
skies. With the development of this concept of operations, we are laying the
foundation for a future where air transportation is not just faster and more
efficient, but also accessible, sustainable and inclusive for all Indians. This
collaboration with the World Economic Forum underscores our commitment
to embracing innovation while ensuring safe and secure integration into our
national airspace.
