SAN FRANCISCO — The first humanitarian drone testing corridor in Africa became operational just over a year ago.
The air corridor in Malawi is intended to be a safe space for operators to perform test flights, work out kinks, and make improvements to unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs.
But while the humanitarian drone testing corridor has brought a number of operators to Malawi, the country has not seen the scale of operations needed for drones to make a meaningful difference in health care delivery, according to drone experts who spoke with Devex.
