On January 23, 2026, MUST, through its African Drone and Data Academy (ADDA), held an interface meeting with a delegation from Ministry of Health.
The purpose was for the Ministry to seek expert advice from ADDA on suitable drone specifications and human resource requirements for managing drone operations.
The Ministry also expressed interest in having ADDA train its officers in drone technology to ensure effective and safe use of the equipment.
Speaking during the meeting, Oudney Mwale, Deputy Director of Administration and leader of the delegation, said they recently received a grant aimed at strengthening emergency response systems, with drones being a key component of the initiative.
He said the Ministry chose to consult ADDA because of its proven expertise in drone and data technologies.
βWe believe that with guidance from ADDA, we will receive valuable recommendations that will help us make informed decisions,β said Mwale.
Representing ADDA, Prince Mkango, who is also an instructor, commended the Ministry for taking a proactive step in seeking professional advice.
He noted that the engagement reflects the growing trust stakeholders have in ADDAβs capacity.
βThis shows confidence in our work. We are committed to supporting the Ministry throughout the process β said Mkango.
Through ADDAβs technical support and capacity building, the initiative is expected to enhance preparedness, save lives, and promote the use of modern technology in public service delivery.
