Africa CDC and Zipline sign an agreement to enhance health logistics throughout Africa.

The Africa CDC and Zipline International have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to enhance health system responsiveness and epidemic preparedness across Africa through drone logistics. This partnership aims to improve access to medical supplies, bolster health data systems, and strengthen early warning capabilities, particularly in remote areas. By collaborating with African Union Member States, they will integrate drone-based logistics into public health systems, ensuring timely delivery of essential medicines during emergencies. The initiative aligns with Africa CDC's strategic goals to create resilient, equitable health systems driven by innovation and technology.
