Rwanda deploys three robots in bid to minimise contact between patients infected with coronavirus and health workers
A health professional speaks with a high-tech robot developed by a Belgium-based company and donated by the United Nations Development Program at the Kanyinya Covid-19 treatment centre in Kigali, Rwanda on May 29, 2020.
In a bid to minimise contact between patients infected with the coronavirus and doctors and nurses, the country has deployed the three robots to carry out simple tasks like taking temperatures and monitoring patients. "The three robots that we have are part of the treating team," said David Turatsinze, a doctor at the 75-bed facility, which housed 65 patients.
Francine Umutesi, a bio-medical engineer who works as a health technology operations specialist at the ministry of health, said the robots were a first for Africa and had the potential to offer even more support to medical teams.
