car hire jhb

rwanda is known as the land of a thousand hills it is a very difficult country in terms of topography and many areas are hard to reach traversing that terrain to get to a rural village can take hours eventhough it's a very short distance

car hire jhb, today if a mother is giving birth and suffers from postpartum hemorrhaging her life is dependent on getting a blood transfusion there are many different types of blood types they have a limited shelf life andthe challenge is when you need blood

you need it immediately but it is unpredictable which geography that will occur in hospitals that are in moreremote areas can have a very hard time getting enough reliably supplied blood the time to order and get the supplies by truck is just too late there is no way that we can overcome the time that it takes to get anywhere during the rainy season

and people would say okay during the rainy season we're just not going to make it the best case scenario would take at least 4 hours but with zipline we're looking at cutting that 4 hours to something like 15 minutes it is a team of rwandese who came together with zipline to groom the project and make it happen in rwanda their ultimate vision is to put each andevery one of those 11 million citizens within a 15 to 35 minute delivery

of any essential medical product that they could need and that's a revolutionary idea for any country in the world the use of drones to deliverlife-saving medical products can overcome the lack of road infrastructure we need to let our imaginations soar when you have a commodity rare in supply that might be an unusual blood type or something like a rabies vaccine and you need it immediately

the idea that we could use a drone to beable to deliver this to the country is absolutely brilliant there's nothing else that could do that in that way it is like that we no longer go around hills but you fly over the hills we've pulled together a team from places like boeing, spacex, google, lockheed martin it's an honor for zipline to partner withthe government of rwanda we place a hub next to an existing medical warehouse and it instantly enables that warehouse to make hundreds of deliveries per dayto any location within range the doctor sends us their order by text, by phone call

whatever's convenient somebody identifies the need and then prepares the package puts it on drone then we take their vehicle and we put it through prefight test it's launched flies automatically out to the clinic the path has been already calculated it's in the computer

and then they'll receive a text message saying zip is two minutes away please walk outside it drops the package somebody goes and collects it it turns around, it flies home and then we get it ready for the next delivery our service not only makes it possible butalso affordable for countries to deliver reliable access to essential medicinesfor all of their citizens

what we're looking forward to seeing here is saving lives this isn't a small step forward this is a transformational change to how we provide medical care to people across the world
