Medical drone delivery services refer to the utilization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to transport medical supplies such as medications, vaccines, blood products, and laboratory specimens to and from healthcare facilities, remote or difficult-to-reach areas, and in disaster or emergency situations.
