The Member of Parliament for Lambussie, Titus Beyuo, has disclosed details of findings on the operations of Zipline after a review ordered by the Minister of Health.
Speaking on Adom TV on November 26, 2025, Beyuo stated that among the findings were revelations of how Zipline allegedly used its services to supply non-essential items, including condoms, uniforms, textbooks among other things.

The lawmaker also a member of the Health Committee argued that the purpose of Zipline’s services was to use drones to deliver medical supplies to far-to-reach areas in some parts of the country. However, Zipline’s operations were only supplying 12% of the total facilities in these remote areas.
“When this current government came into power, the [health] minister called for a review into a Zipline operations. The findings from the review will blow your mind. The main purpose for Zipline was to deliver drugs using drones service to far to reach areas but the findings show that for Zipline’s current operations, the far to reach areas they supplied were only 12% of the facilities,” he said.
The lawmaker indicated that Zipline was to supply over 1,000 far-to-reach facilities but only served 12% of that number with medical supplies.
“They [Zipline] are to supply over 1,000 facilities with medical supplies, and of that number only 12% were far-to-reach facilities, which means we could have used the normal procurement supply system to supply the other facilities with the medical items, because the purpose was to get medical supplies to far-to-reach areas.”
Beyuo also shared that the services were used to supply non-essential items instead of medical supplies.
He explained further that the essential items they were set up to deliver accounted for only 1%, while 90% of the items delivered were non-essential.
“The next thing we found out was that with the commodities they were supplying were non-essential items. Less than 1% of the total items Zipline delivers to hospitals were actually the reason why they set up.
“The 1% includes blood supply, anti-snake serum, normal saline, oxytocin, and other items, which in total did not reach 1% of the overall deliveries. They rather supplied condoms, NHIS cards, mosquito nets, food, syringes, text books, exercise books, uniforms, veterinary materials are part of the things Zipline delivered and this is making more than 90% of what they are delivering,” he concluded.
