TechEagle, a drone delivery firm, has teamed up with AIIMS Jodhpur to provide healthcare essentials to a tribal community.

Their Vertiplane X3 e-VTOL Drone completed its first flight from Sirohi to Waloriya, a tribal area, covering 35 kilometers in under 20 minutes - six times faster than ground transportation, especially in the final 8 kilometers without road access. Furthermore, the drone returned sputum samples at 6 times the speed of road transport, reducing diagnostic turnaround time and cost.

This partnership aims to provide high-quality, easily accessible healthcare to the tribal population in Sirohi District, Rajasthan.

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Jodhpur has been designated a "Centre of Excellence (COE) for Tribal Health" by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs. A "Satellite Centre for Tribal Health and Research (STHR)" was established at Janjati Bhavan Abu Road, funded by the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, in collaboration with the Tribal Area Development (TAD) Department, Government of Rajasthan, and MLV Tribal Research & Training Institute, Udaipur.
