Rwanda on Tuesday said the country will put five high-tech robots into use to fight COVID-19 in its treatment centers. "The use of robots in fighting against COVID-19 will help doctors and nurses in reducing their contact with COVID-19 patients and minimizing their risk of infection with the deadly virus," said Rwandan health minister Daniel Ngamije in Kanyinya hospital, in the capital city Kigali. The robots, donated to the health ministry by the United Nations Development Program and the Rwandan Ministry of ICT and Innovation, 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, said Ngamije.
