Partnering to save lives
“Drones can deliver many other health interventions. Since post-partum hemorrhage is the
leading cause of maternal mortality, the life-saving potential is vast. Post-exposure
treatments for rabies and snakebites are especially important, as most deaths from these
conditions occur in rural areas.”
