Use of unmanned air vehicles (medical drones) to overcome geographical barriers to delivery Antiretroviral therapy: The Bufumira pilot.
REFNo: HS725ES

In this study, we shall evaluate the use unmanned air vehicles (Medical Drones) to deliver ART to adult patients eligible/enrolled in community DSD models in Bufumira Islands, Kalangala district. The geography of the islands is ideal for this project because of the flat landscape and water coverage. We hypothesize that the use of drones would be acceptable to patients and stakeholders, reduce facility drug stock outs, increase retention in care by 10% in intervention (at 12 months) as compared to the control health centres and be cost neutral (to the patients and health sector perspectives)
