Haripur: A group of 15 doctors from the District Headquarters (DHQ) Hospital have bought a drone to provide free medicine home deliveries to heart, kidney, and eye disease patients; as well as those with immuno-compromised health profiles, generally — a news source reported.
According to the details available, patients with heart,
kidney, and eye issues have an increased risk of contracting the coronavirus
infection. Therefore, they need to stay indoors during the lockdown. The DHQ
doctors plan to provide free of cost medicine home delivery to these individuals.
Sources revealed that anyone could call the hospital and consult a specialist. After the specialist prescribes a medicine to the caller without charges, the drone will supply the requisite medicines to the patient’s address.
An official of the DHQ Hospital stated that anyone unable to
afford medicines due to the financial impact of the lockdown could also contact
them for this service.
