Zipline announced an expansion agreement with Rwanda’s government in February 2026. Plans include urban Platform 2 service, another distribution centre and an AI and robotics testing facility, building on operations in Rwanda since 2016. Planned coverage should be distinguished from established service.

Medical logistics requires coordination beyond transport. The team must define demand, packaging, handling conditions, receiving responsibilities and an alternative when delivery is interrupted.

Begin with a feasibility study between one hub and one healthcare facility. Have qualified clinical and logistics personnel validate the handling workflow and required service level. The Rwanda reference does not establish clinical outcomes or product availability for another project.
