Description:

A drone or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is a flying robot that serves as a modern transportation for humankind. Drone transportation can be applied to various fields including military, medicine, and entertainment. In medicine, one of the drone applications is the delivery of blood components between hospitals. Blood packs such as red blood cells are essential components to save lives. These essential supplies need to be always readily available. Therefore, an efficient delivery system is crucial to fulfil these needs, particularly during medical emergencies such as massive maternal bleeding during childbirth. The drone is viewed as a promising technology and potential delivery system for blood components. Scientists around the world continue to delve into medical drone innovation in view of their multipronged clinical and non-clinical benefits. This book unveils the drone’s benefits from three viewpoints: clinical, economic, and legal perspectives in Malaysia. This book revealed the most suitable material for clinical drone carriage, overviewed the global and national drone laws, and mapped the financial efficacy of drone technology.
