The use of drones for the distribution of essential medicines in Ghana is set to begin in the next three weeks, Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has said.
Speaking at a Town Hall Meeting in Accra on Wednesday, Dr Bawumia said the distribution centre at Suhum is ready for the commencement of the project.
He said it would be scaled up with another distribution centre in another part of the country later on.
