Rwanda now Using High Tech Robots in the Fight against COVID-19

Robots are now part of Rwanda’s fight against COVID-19 and will help minimize risk of infections among health care workers, authorities said on Tuesday.

Five anti-epidemic robots – named Akazuba, Ikirezi, Mwiza, Ngabo, and Urumuri – will be mainly used to administer temperature checks, monitor patient status, and keep medical records of COVID-19 patients, the Health Ministry announced in a series of tweets.

“These high-tech robots have the capacity to screen 50 to 150 people per minute, deliver food and medication to patient rooms, capture data and notify officers on duty about detected abnormalities,” the ministry said.

Health Minister Ngamije Daniel said the robots will fasten service delivery and help protect the lives of valuable health workers.

“Medics and other frontline workers visit patients’ room many times to deliver medication, meals, carry out tests, among other things – and this may increase their risk of contracting the virus,” he was quoted as saying by local daily The New Times.

The robots are the result of joint efforts by the Rwandan Ministry of ICT and Innovation and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

“The infectious nature of COVID-19 calls for technological innovations to tackle the pandemic. This is why Rwanda has introduced robots and drones among other high-tech initiatives to enhance efficiency in the fight,” ICT and Innovation Minister Paula Ingabire said.

UNDP representative Stephen Rodriques said the project marks the “beginning of a great collaboration that’s part of a broader partnership” with the East African country.

Rwanda, a major innovation and technology hub in Africa, has recorded 308 coronavirus cases so far, with zero deaths and 209 recoveries, according to official figures.

To date, more than 52,300 tests have been carried out in the country of over 12 million.

Rwanda is really investing in electronics and technology,i dont know if they are building manpower capacity…

Turkana County is larger than Rwanda in size…

Rwanda is a PR country.
They should first invest in the basics. Their people are very poor.

Upussy

We are very much ahead of Rwanda … they are mostly doing PR

Rwanda is really progressing. This is the result of having a visionary leader in the name of Kagame.

Google and Apple…companies with cash reserves larger than some countries’ GDP have not yet been able to make autonomous vehicles operate safely even within restricted environments…but Rwanda has robots that can be used to diagnose COVID-19 patients and serve them autonomously, Robots that even China and USA are not using. Jokes zingine ata better chai ya 4 million

One of those countries that were irrecoverably messed up by Covid19 is this tiny dicked country. They were depending on tourism and FDI 100%. Right now those two are non existent.
Chagame is completely out of options. But the poor Masses are A OK coz they got food to eat. Thats all they need for now.

Rwanda is goin well but all of these efforts will vanish once Kagame left the office, This man must be very carefully to choose for his successor,

Wonders shall never cease, I have not heard anywhere this robot curbing convid19
