TORONTO, Oct. 12,
2023 /CNW/ - Drone Delivery Canada Corp. (TSXV: FLT);
(OTCQX: TAKOF); (Frankfurt:
A2AMGZ) or (Frankfurt: ABB.F) (the "Company" or "DDC") is pleased
to announce that, with the assistance of its sales agent Air Canada
(TSX: AC), it has entered into an agreement dated September 26, 2023, (the "Agreement")
with Halton Healthcare to deploy DDC's patented drone delivery
solution to establish a new two way transportation link from Milton
District Hospital to Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. This
bidirectional route will facilitate the exchange of medical
supplies and samples between the two hospitals to improve the
efficiency of overall healthcare operations.
The Contract, with a value of $50,000 will run for a 6-month duration and
include 26 flights between the two hospitals. The Canary RPA will
be used for this project marking it the first official commercial
route for the Canary RPA. The Canary will carry a variety of
critical medical supplies between the two hospitals including but
not limited to blood and serum chemistry tests, blood bank
materials, urine cultures, small cytology containers with formalin
and blood culture bottles.
To further optimize efficiency, the Company will make use of the
existing heliport at Milton District Hospital, by reconfiguring
DDC's DroneSpot™ technology and infrastructure to work with the
heliport. This is a testament to our commitment to using
existing resources wherever possible to improve healthcare
logistics.
This next phase of RPAS use in the healthcare segment will build
on the success of the several projects DDC has completed within the
healthcare industry and demonstrate the healthcare industry's
ability to leverage drone technology for the benefit of patients
and medical professionals alike. By reducing transportation times
and enhancing the security of medical samples, DDC is taking a
crucial step toward more efficient and reliable healthcare
services.
"We are proud to partner once again with Halton Healthcare to
continue to make inroads in the healthcare segment and demonstrate
the benefits of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems ("RPAS") and
their ability to benefit the healthcare market overall with
positive outcomes for patient care," said Steve Magirias, CEO of Drone Delivery
Canada.
"The potential for using drones to transport medical supplies in
healthcare is profound. This innovative project explores ways to be
more responsive to the care needs of our patients, families and
communities. With this project, we are embracing the future of
healthcare services, one drone delivery at a time," said
Hilary Rodrigues, Senior Vice
President Corporate Services, Performance & Chief Financial
Officer, Halton Healthcare.
