The Phil Inquirer reports:
MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) has launched a drone-assisted medicine delivery in Southeast Asia. The Philippine News Agency says DICT launched this service in Barangay Niogan, Pililia town in Rizal province. It’s part of the SMART Villages and SMART Islands (SVSI) framework that uses drone delivery to address “geographic barriers, limited transportation and logistical issues.”
yes I know: This has been around for years, but it would be a godsend not just for isolated towns, but when the roads are blocked and bridges are down after earthquakes.
