Life-saving drones deliver blood for Wuhan hospital

As the saying goes: Time is life. And it's especially true when it comes to the medical sector.

This has been effectively put into practice by medical workers at a hospital in Wuhan, Hubei province. They have started using drones to transport blood, wasting no time in saving lives.

During rush hour on Monday morning, the Wuhan Blood Center received a call from Wuhan Asia General Hospital for surgical blood. Workers from the center, about 11 kilometers away, retrieved 800 milliliters of the blood type needed. Together with the drone company staff, they sealed the blood before placing the blood transport box into the drone delivery box.
