12 days

Did you know? Currently it can take up to 12 days to deliver vaccines.

Overcoming challenges with innovative solutions

As time sensitive medical supplies such as vaccines are not able to last for long outside of refrigeration, these supplies end up being unused as they are no longer viable. Utilising autonomous drones to distribute vaccines can be the answer to ensure timely and safe delivery into remote areas where the need of medical supplies are crucial, especially during outbreaks.

The durability and reliability of Bosch tools enables the team to work from anywhere at anytime - even under harsh environmental conditions. This was shown during the team’s first trial flights in the highlands of Papua New Guinea.
