Drones for urgent transport of medicines and test tubes: the test at Niguarda hospital

The Niguarda Hospital in Milan is testing urgent deliveries of medicines and samples using drones, a legacy from the recent Winter Olympics. This system allows for rapid transport, with deliveries completed in minutes by professional pilots. The process begins when a hospital department contacts the Command Center, which coordinates the drone's flight. The initiative requires authorization from the Italian Civil Aviation Authority and aims to enhance the speed and safety of medical transport. Future plans include expanding drone operations to mountainous areas, with expected results by mid-2027.
