We interviewed Okeoma Moronu, Head of Global Aviation Regulatory Affairs at Zipline. She talks about how Zipline operates distribution centres in various African countries, Japan and the United States. She emphasises that while they're most famous for blood deliveries in Rwanda, they transport much more to serve communities worldwide and reduce reliance on wheel-based transportation.
Okeoma also shares her insights on how Zipline navigates the complexities of different regulations in each country and the importance of partnerships with corporations such as Toyota and the Ministry of Health.
