Zipline's drone's prompt distribution of medical supplies has helped save the lives of 113 Mangoase Senior High School students in the East region.
Acute diarrhea had befallen the boys. The incidence of diarrhoea came after the students consumed groundnut broth with rice for supper. The Headmaster suggested that the meal was presumably not well prepared, which added to the epidemic of diarrhoea.
He regretted the absence of a school bus to carry the children had Zipline services not been accessible readily. According to him, correspondence was made with the Health Center, which urged the students to administer Oral Rehydration Salt (ORS) immediately. But at the moment, there was no ORS in the school and health center, so an application was put to the Zipline Centre instantly.
The company sent out a drone with five ORS bags. Growing package contained five ORS sets, resulting in a total of 125.
As per Market Research Store, the global oral rehydration salt (ORS) market is projected to be valued USD billion in 2026 by analysts at a healthy CAGR. Europe alone contributed for more than USD 2 billion in 2019 as part of global oral rehydration salt (ORS) market.
