Halton Healthcare approved the use of drones to transport medical samples and supplies between two Ont. hospitals located 13 kilometers apart. The agreement between the hospital network and drone company comes four months after Ottawa proposed expanding drone safety regulations for such uses in Canada. The drone will carry medical supplies between the two hospitals including blood tests and urine cultures. The project is slated to run for six months. It’s the first use of drones for medical deliveries between hospitals in Canada.
