Zipline launched its first drone deliveries in Kaduna State, Nigeria, on Friday, June 03, 2022 – marking its third country of operation in Africa after Ghana and Rwanda. The initial flights were in collaboration with Kaduna State and regulatory authorities – the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Zipline will operate three distribution centres across the state to serve an estimated 500 health facilities reaching millions. Deliveries will comprise over 200 different medical products, including medicines and routine vaccines.
Instant logistics enables governments and health systems to optimize their supply chains and reimagine how care is delivered. Today’s flights mark one more step toward unlocking these benefits for millions more people, and bringing us one step closer to effective, agile systems that better serve all people. Daniel Marfo, SVP of Africa, Zipline.
