To keep healthcare accessible and available by deploying innovative mobility solutions. That is the shared ambition of the parties that have partnered up to form the Medical Drone Service (MDS). The project is an initiative by ANWB and PostNL, who are now experimenting with the transportation of medical products, such as body tissue and fluids, via drones. Isala hospital is one of the participating healthcare partners. Isala wants to deploy drones in the future for medical transport purposes in order to make transport faster, cheaper and more sustainable. A drone can save 10 minutes on a 20-kilometer journey compared to transportation by car, which is also more polluting, more expensive and less safe. Initial results are hopeful; research shows that transportation by drones does not affect the quality of transported blood
