Save the Children uses drones for blood deliveries at Rwanda's largest refugee camp


KIGALI, June 20 (Xinhua) -- Global charity Save the Children announced Thursday that it had introduced the use of drones to deliver blood to Mahama, Rwanda's largest refugee camp, providing relief for women giving birth who previously had to travel for hours to receive specialist care.

In a statement coinciding with World Refugee Day on June 20, Save the Children said that this life-saving initiative was launched following the renovation of a medical center at the camp in eastern Rwanda last year.
