In a significant step forward for medical logistics, Shenzhen has launched a drone blood delivery service, significantly reducing transportation times and improving emergency response capabilities. The first flight of the new drone route, connecting Shenzhen Blood Center to the Huazhong University of Science and Technology Union Shenzhen Hospital, took just 15 minutes, compared to the previous 90-minute ground transportation time. This substantial reduction in delivery time is crucial for patients in urgent need of blood transfusions, as it can make a life-or-death difference.
