Staff of Zipline at the Pambegua Zipline distribution centre had received an emergency request for a whole blood to help save one of the patients that had been rushed to the hospital mid-afternoon of June 6.

Fortunately, Zipline had taken delivery of some processed blood products, for the first time, from a recent blood drive they have embarked on as part of their corporate social responsibility, so they were able to fulfill the order.

The general manager of Zipline, Ms Catherine Odiase, said the company is committed to ensuring that all patients, no matter their locations, are reached timely with the essential medicines when they need them the most. “We have been very deliberate in ensuring that we are able to reach as many health facilities as possible that need our services.

“Even though we had commenced delivery of medicines in three states in Nigeria, this has been our very first delivery of blood. We embarked on a blood drive that yielded 30-units, some of which have been processed and delivered to our distribution centre for emergency deliveries to health facilities”, she said.

Zipline currently has operations in Kaduna, Bayelsa and Cross River states. The company has delivered a total of 800,000 doses of vaccines for routine immunization, 1.5 million units of essential medicines from the Pambegua distribution centre (Kaduna) since August 2022.

 Since August 2022, it has been delivering medical products to several health facilities within Kaduna State as part of their partnership with the Kaduna government. Health officials say the timely delivery of these products have largely improved healthcare delivery as cases of referral of patients on the ground of non-availability of medicines have largely reduced.
