Bengaluru Hospital Designed Without an On-Site Lab, Built Around Drone Delivery

Narayana Health's new Banashankari hospital in Bengaluru was designed without an on-site diagnostic lab or blood bank. The facility depends on autonomous drones from startup Airbound, which has completed over 1,000 sample-transport flights for the hospital network. The key detail: the building's infrastructure treats drone delivery as primary logistics, not a convenience added after the fact.
