In critical surgeries, every second matters—and road delays can cost lives. To slash wait times, a Shanghai hospital partnered with a local supplier to achieve China’s first drone delivery of emergency surgical equipment, halving transport time.

At 9:00 AM, the OR urgently requested sterile instrument packs. The supplier prepped the kits, secured flight clearance, and by 9:20 AM, a drone carrying 10 kg of gear took off. Just 10 minutes later, it landed with pinpoint accuracy on the hospital’s fifth-floor platform.

Temperature control was vital. The insulated crate featured a sterile transfer hatch, allowing staff to verify cleanliness before rushing the equipment straight to surgery.

Previously, ground transport was vulnerable to traffic delays. Now, this innovative low-altitude drone corridor serves as a skybound green expressway—delivering lifesaving gear faster, safer, and ready for immediate use. A breakthrough in emergency logistics!
