The medicines dropping from the sky
The HIV drugs being delivered by drones.
Presenter Myra Anubi visits western Kenya to see an innovative project that鈥檚 using hi-tech drones to deliver HIV drugs and testing kits. It鈥檚 an attempt to tackle the number of infections amongst young adults in the region. The drones are dropping HIV kits at youth-focused events such as football matches and concerts. The idea is to take away some of the stigma surrounding HIV/Aids and make treatment more accessible.
