Nitin Gadkari, the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, launched the first drone prototype in India on Saturday in an effort to speed up organ transplants in hospitals. He virtually unveiled the prototype from New Delhi. As opposed to the current method of carrying them by road from the airport, using drones to move the harvested organs from the airport to the hospital will save a significant amount of time. According to MGM Healthcare in Chennai, which helped develop the prototype drone technology, drones may currently be used to transport the package containing the organs up to a distance of 20 kilometres.
