Every delivery tells a story.

Working with the Cross River State Government, Zipline helped make anti-snake venom available at frontline health facilities across the state.

Days later, this went live; that preparation proved lifesaving when a 48-year-old snakebite patient received immediate treatment because the medicine was already on-site.

Every delivery tells a story.

This one began with an urgent call from Lalagbene Primary Health Centre in Ekeremor L.G.A. A pregnant woman with placenta previa had lost a significant amount of blood, and her condition was rapidly deteriorating.

With time running out, the Zipline team responded immediately, delivering the medicines and IV fluids needed to begin emergency treatment in just 41 minutes.
For frontline health workers, timely access to essential medicines can make all the difference. That's why we're committed to ensuring distance is never a barrier to life-saving care.

When in need, Zipline delivers. ✈️❤️

Speaking with Al Arabiya at THE AFRICA CEO FORUM,
Zipline Africa CEO Caitlin Burton shared how governments across Africa are integrating autonomous delivery into their public health systems.

By connecting health facilities to medicines, vaccines, blood, and other essential health products on demand, health workers have what they need to test, treat, and vaccinate without unnecessary delays.

As more countries invest in this approach, we're seeing measurable improvements in health outcomes and a growing body of evidence that reliable logistics can strengthen healthcare systems at scale.

Students from the Lauder Institute at the University of Pennsylvania, Wharton visit to Zipline in Rwanda.

Experiencing Zipline’s work up close and reflecting on how autonomous delivery is changing access to essential healthcare commodities in Rwanda.

It was great to see how challenged and inspired they were by the Zipline concept, from the technology itself to its impact on communities.

Africa has an opportunity to lead the next chapter of aviation.

At the Africa Air Transport Convention & Expo in Lomé, our Director of International Aviation Regulatory Affairs, Ibrahima Ba, joined regulators, aviation leaders, and development partners to discuss what it takes to safely scale autonomous aviation across the continent.
The conversation has evolved. It's no longer about whether these technologies work. Years of operational experience have shown that they do.

The focus now is on building the regulatory frameworks, partnerships, and institutions that will enable autonomous logistics infrastructure to scale safely and responsibly across Africa.

Thank you to the African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC) and everyone advancing this important conversation.

Distance should not decide whether someone gets lifesaving care.

The Borgen Project explores how Zipline's autonomous delivery network reaches health facilities with blood, vaccines, and essential medicines across Africa, often in minutes rather than hours.

Speaking at Devex Impact House during , Zipline Africa CEO Caitlin Burton joined a panel on moving global health from grants to deals, and the role the private sector can play in delivering innovation at national scale.

The conversation reflected a real shift in how global health is being financed, with more space for governments to choose and pay for the solutions that work best for their people.

Zipline's own path speaks to this. We started in Rwanda, solving a hard problem alongside a willing government partner, and built from there. Ten years on, governments are investing in the service themselves because it delivers.

As Caitlin put it, the most durable solutions are the ones built for the real world. When something works on the ground, demand follows.

Thank you to Devex and fellow panelists for a thoughtful conversation.

You can see it from space.
When a logistics hub built to serve the health system arrives in a community, does the surrounding economy change?

Researchers studied Zipline's GH3 hub in northern Ghana using household surveys and satellite imagery of nighttime light, benchmarked against 82 comparable locations across the country.

The closer a household lived to the hub, the better it did: more likely to have acquired assets, more likely to have a member working at or around the hub, more likely to have improved access to drinking water.
Households within 2 km saw $850 to $1,200 in additional income a year.

Across Africa, health workers place thousands of orders every day for medicines, vaccines, blood, and other essential products. Taken together, those orders can provide valuable signals about what is happening across a health system.

Speaking with قناة العربية Al Arabiya at the Africa CEO Forum, Zipline Africa CEO Caitlin Burton shared a vision for how real-time delivery data could support institutions like the Africa CDC to better detect emerging health events and respond faster.

The technology exists today. The question is how quickly we choose to use it.
