MTN Eswatini
has announced it will power 280 medical drone flights over the next year as
part of a partnership with The Luke Commission to expand access to healthcare
in remote areas.
The initiative,
launched under MTN’s 21 Days of Y’ello Care campaign, supports the Nkwe Medical
Drone Network. It currently serves 30 remote health facilities across the
kingdom, with Musi Clinic in Mankayane named as the newest beneficiary.
Jerry J. Soko,
Group Regional General Manager for Operations and Commercial at MTN Group, said
distance remains a major barrier for many communities needing critical medical
supplies. He described the drone network as an innovative solution helping to
bridge that gap and save lives.
MTN is
positioning the effort as part of its broader role as Eswatini’s digital life
partner, using technology to solve real healthcare challenges and improve
service delivery in underserved areas.
