"3, 2, 1! Take off!" On June 2, at the take-off and landing site in Xuwen County, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province, a drone carrying biological samples took off, flew over the Qiongzhou Strait, and arrived at Haikou. Lower the temperature and prepare to send it to the nearby Hainan Jinyu Laboratory for testing. KingMed Medical and Fengyi Technology officially launched a cross-sea biological sample transportation route by drone. This route will help improve the sharing of medical resources between Xuwen, Guangdong and Haikou, Hainan, improve the flexibility of cold chain logistics in the region, and shorten transportation time. , speeding up testing efficiency so that patients can get test results faster and receive timely diagnosis and treatment.

Biological samples fly across the Qiongzhou Strait
Only 30 minutes
Xuwen County, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province is located at the southernmost tip of mainland China. It is also the southern gateway city for Guangdong to serve the Hainan Free Trade Port. It faces Hainan Island across the sea and is no more than 50 kilometers away from Haikou City. In order to allow patients in remote county-level cities to enjoy high-quality medical services at their doorsteps, Jinyu Medical has expanded its service network to Xuwen County. Usually, medical examination samples from medical institutions in Xuwen County need to be transported to the Guangzhou Jinyu Laboratory, more than 500 kilometers away, for testing, which takes more than 7 hours.
In order to respond to clinical needs faster, solve timeliness problems caused by special geographical environment and peak period transportation congestion, and provide "extreme service" and "extreme timeliness" logistics experience, KingMed Medical joins hands with domestic drone operators "Fengyi Technology", a company with a (pilot) license, has opened a Xuwen-Haikou drone cross-sea biological sample transportation route. Fengzhou 90 is a UAV specially designed for cross-sea transportation. Its first flight will fly over 120 kilometers of sea area with a load of 10 kilograms.
Medical test samples from Xuwen County Chengbei Health Center and Xuwen County Second People’s Hospital were transferred to the take-off and landing point in Xuwen County on June 2. In less than half an hour, these samples flew across the Qiongzhou Strait, successfully arrived at the landing point in Haikou, and were transported to Hainan Jinyu Laboratory for testing. It is 6 hours shorter than arriving at Jinyu's laboratory in Guangzhou. Visual monitoring throughout the entire process to ensure transportation quality.
It is understood that Fengyi Technology is affiliated to SF Express Group. After the opening of this route, three flights will be set up, and cross-sea transportation will only take half an hour. In order to ensure the quality of transportation, KingMed Medical’s special cold chain logistics boxes are used, that is, any type of biological samples can be transported. Gold Domain Medical will arrange corresponding distribution work based on the clinical needs of medical institutions in both locations..

Build a three-dimensional cold chain logistics service network
Drone technology has been used in medical emergency blood, organ donation and other aspects in recent years, becoming an emerging technological service method. Compared with other items, biological samples are lighter in overall weight. With the popularity of civilian drones, the combination of the two can meet the distribution needs of biological samples and improve the efficiency of clinical services.
Hainan Jinyu General Manager Sun Aibao said: "This is the first application of domestic low-altitude logistics to transport biological samples across the Qiongzhou Strait. With the help of low-altitude logistics and distribution services, Jinyu Medical has created a highly interactive system based on the original logistics configuration. , an expedited testing service model that can be flexibly scheduled. After the opening of the route, it will help promote the joint development of the medical industry in Guangdong and Hainan, realize the sharing of medical resources between Xuwen and Haikou, and provide more convenient and efficient medical testing services to the local people. .”
Starting in 2021, Kingmed Medical has taken the lead in launching cold chain logistics services for medical testing samples using drones, forming a "multimodal" logistics and distribution service model, through logistics vehicles, aviation aircraft, railways, drones, etc. The flexible combination of multiple transportation tools greatly improves the efficiency of medical examination sample distribution, making logistics distribution more three-dimensional and efficient.
The launch of this low-altitude transportation route over the Qiongzhou Strait has injected strong impetus into improving transportation efficiency, improved the flexibility of cold chain logistics in the region, shortened transportation time, accelerated testing efficiency, and can better meet clinical needs, thereby benefiting More people are healthy.
It is understood that in the past three years, Jinyu Medical has realized the practical application of biological sample drone cold chain logistics services in Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Xi'an and Qingdao. For example, the drone that travels between the Second People's Hospital of Guangdong Province and Jinyu Guangzhou Laboratory has flown more than 300 times in a row. (Ning Yuying)
