It is really fascinating when a simple technology changes the daily life and makes difference substantially. The startup company Zipline shows that the network of drone delivery can provide medical delivery in extreme conditions. Why is it so important?

"More than two billion people lack adequate access to essential medical products, often due to challenging terrain and gaps in infrastructure. Because of this, over 2.9 million children under age five die every year. And up to 150,000 pregnancy-related deaths could be avoided each year if mothers had reliable access to safe blood."

and it has been implemented in Rwanda:
