Drones have the potential to be the ultimate solution to the problem, delivering just-in-time resupplies of critical medical items, regardless the location. Certain health systems are unable to maintain cold-chain products such as platelets or blood on-site, drones can ensure these supplies are deliverable whenever demanded. Drones for healthcare logistics have been witnessing several landmarks from the past few years. A University of Maryland drone delivered a kidney that was successfully transplanted into a patient suffering from a serious nephrological condition; this was the first -ever successful drone delivery of a human organ in April 2019. That delivery was completely successful and made it to the headlines. Drones are gaining popularity in the developing countries as well. India, a country with a massive population to serve with equally difficult geography and wide-ranging healthcare disparities, has also recognized and appreciated the need to incorporate drone delivery solutions in the healthcare system. 

Medicine from the Sky a World Economic Forum (WEF) projects initiative in partnership with the Government of Telangana and Apollo Hospitals in India has also stepped in to facilitate and scale drone-based medical deliveries in the region. The next phase of this initiative will transform trials and research turned into operational drones. The World Economic Forum co-organized a workshop with the Government of Telangana at Wings India 2020, a yearly event organized by the Ministry of Civil Aviation of India and the Airports Authority of India, to bring together all essential stakeholders to design a new project demonstrating the potential and practicality for drone delivery of medical supplies in India. This community is presently investigating at ways drones can support response of India to the COVID-19 pandemic.
