Established 4 years ago, that is in 2019, the company through their operations managed to surmount the known transportation challenges to offer timely delivery of medical supplies even in hard to reach areas in their catchment areas.

A tour of one of the centers at Suhum by Ghanadistricts.com attests to the fact that Zipline places premium on high quality standard and safety without living room for compromises.

The protocol to even access the facility requires a protection of ones’ footwears to avoid contamination of the medical supplies and this is done under strict supervision.

Even medical supplies are subjected to strict cross-check to authenticate their origin, expiring date among other safety elements before they are admitted into storage for delivery.

Various levels of temperature for storage of critical medicines are also very well respected.

The drone delivery is apt and timely that a lot of health facilities in the catmint areas are depending on it to improve delivery.

Making on the average about 120 deliveries at just one centre, one can imagine the total number of interventions that are made across all the six centres in a day and that without doubt is phenomenal in saving lives especially in difficult-to-reach areas that by just a phone call to the centre, a critical product is delivered and live is saved.
