AIIMS Bhubaneswar on Tuesday (January 23) conducted a successful experimental trial of utilising drones to provide superior healthcare services in Odisha.

The drone completed the successful journey of 120 kms from AIIMS Bhubaneswar to Community Health Centre, Tangi in just 1.10 hours, carrying the essential blood supplies weighing around 2kg, without encountering any operational issues in the presence of AIIMS Bhubaneswar Director Ashutosh Biswas.
