Draganfly (DPRO) will deliver NuGen Medical Devices’ (NGMD) injection devices, pre-loaded with insulin to dangerous and hard-to-reach areas across Ukraine.
Working with Revived Soldiers Ukraine, Draganfly’s North American-made Medical Response Drones will be used to deliver NuGen M.D.’s InsuJet™ needle-free injection devices, pre-loaded with insulin, to dangerous and hard-to-reach areas across Ukraine.
NuGen M.D.’s initial donation will be 50 InsuJet™needle-free injection devices and 5,000 needle-free disposable syringes filled with insulin. Each device can be safely used 5,000 times without the risk of needle-stick injury or cross-contamination.
Draganfly recently announced that its first Medical Response Drone was received by Iryna Vashchuk Discipio, President of RSU, and members of her staff, including pilots, at a facility in Poland on May 1, 2022. The drone was then transported to Ukraine, where the Company’s experienced pilots conducted virtual training with RSU’s drone operators.
Draganfly’s Medical Response Drone is able to carry up to 35 pounds. When equipped with the company’s temperature-managed Medical Response Payload Box, the drone can transport temperature-sensitive medical supplies, including insulin/medicines, blood, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, water, and wound care kits.
In addition to donating three drone systems, Draganfly received an order for its Medical Response and Search and Rescue Drones from Coldchain Delivery Systems for immediate deployment with Revived Soldiers Ukraine. The company will provide an initial combined total of 10 North American-made Medical Response and Search and Rescue Drones. The total initial order size (subject to conditions) is up to 200 units.
Insulin in Ukraine is in high demand, particularly in conflict zones. There are over 2.3 million people living with diabetes in Ukraine. Many are Type 1 diabetics that need daily doses of insulin to survive.
“There is an urgent need for insulin and other life-saving medical supplies across Ukraine. The combination of our Medical Response Drones and NuGen’s easy-to-use, needle-free injectors, pre-loaded with insulin, will ensure that RSU can provide diabetic Ukrainians with the aid they require,” said Cameron Chell, President and CEO of Draganfly.
“At NuGen M.D., we believe every individual should have the opportunity to receive healthcare that is respectful, safe, and empowering. Since tragedy struck Ukraine, we have been looking for ways to help,” said Michael Wright, President and CEO of NuGen Medical Devices Inc. “We are grateful to be working with Draganfly, Coldchain Delivery Systems, and RSU to ensure Ukrainians in need have access to crucial medical supplies and equipment.”
