In December 2021, Skycart signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Kisumu County Government in Kenya to pilot drone-based medical deliveries. The initiative aims to enhance healthcare access by using drones to transport vaccines and medical samples to remote areas.
The MoU was officially signed by Governor Prof. Anyang Nyong’o, marking a major step toward integrating drone logistics into the region’s healthcare system. By enabling centralized lab testing and rapid delivery via drones, the program seeks to streamline operations and reduce dependency on multiple lab facilities.
The pilot is expected to improve delivery speed, reduce operational costs, and support better health outcomes across Kisumu County. Training for local drone pilots was planned to begin in early 2022, with system deployment targeted by the end of that year.
This strategic partnership highlights Skycart’s commitment to deploying innovative, sustainable technology to bridge healthcare gaps—particularly in underserved and hard-to-reach communities.
