Presenter Myra Anubi visits western Kenya to see an innovative project that’s using hi-tech drones to deliver HIV drugs and testing kits. It’s an attempt to tackle the number of infections amongst young adults in the region. The drones are dropping HIV kits at youth-focused events such as football matches and concerts. The idea is to take away some of the stigma surrounding HIV/Aids and make treatment more accessible. Producer: Richard Kenny Editor: Jon Bithrey Sound mix: Annie Gardiner (Image: Package being dropped by airborne drone, credit: Zipline)
