AIIMS Guwahati’s First Trial for Health Service Drone Successful; See Details Below

New Delhi: The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Guwahati has made history by launching its first trial drone operation for health services on February 20, 2024. The trial was overseen by AIIMS Guwahati’s Executive Director, Prof. (Dr.) Ashok Puranik. 

The health services drone operation has also received support from the National Health Mission (NHM), Assam, and the office of Kamrup Rural, the Joint Director of Health Services, Kamrup Rural.

The use of drone technology for health and wellness services plays a crucial role in the development of India’s health sector. Drones can traverse difficult terrain and operate across various weather conditions. Part of the trial by AIIMS Guwahati includes reaching out to riverine Char primary healthcare centers (PHCs), including centers such as Bongalpara Char PHC, Goroimari CHC, and Batahidia Char PHC.

The drone launched is capable of carrying medical goods and necessities over considerable distances. It can even cart back samples for testing and analysis to AIIMS, as reported on the AIIMS Guwahati Twitter handle. This is particularly helpful during emergencies.
