Santé Services, in collaboration with Laboratoire Réunis, Luxembourg Air Ambulance S.A. and POST Luxembourg, are collaborating on an innovative, cutting-edge project to explore the possibility of transporting medical samples by drone.

Drones are an emerging technology with great potential in the healthcare sector, offering healthcare providers new solutions for delivering medical equipment and samples.

In this pioneering, forward-thinking project for the Grand Duchy, the four parties involved will examine the potential of using drones for blood sample deliveries. The main objective is to conduct an in-depth technical feasibility study demonstrating the benefits of this state-of-the-art transport method, which include:

• Increased speed and safety
• Environmentally friendly
• Reduced urban congestion
• Easy monitoring and follow-up
