Moses wants to use a fleet of electrically powered drones, which could be used to deliver treatment to patients in hard-to-reach areas.
The unmanned aerial vehicles could serve a double purpose, both delivering essentials like medicine or emergency fluids, and also taking away blood or other samples for testing.
The drones would be able to bypass traffic congestion, a major problem in many African cities, as well as reach rural areas with poor road networks.
They would be able to fly with an 8 kg (17 lb) payload for 40 minutes, covering a radius of 40km (25 miles).
Moses says: "We believe that the geographical location of someone cannot determine whether they receive an available life-saving drug."
