| AMREF Flying Doctor Service |
 AMREF planes sometimes have to land on very remote airstrips. |
In the heart of rural east Africa a gunshot wound, meningitis or a heart attack can quickly progress from emergency to tragedy. |
| Founded forty-three years ago by surgeons Archibald McIndoe, Tom Rees and Michael Wood, AMREF Flying Doctors respond to crises and provide outreach services in areas that would otherwise have few or no medical services. |
| If you're planning a trip to Africa, joining the Flying Doctors' Society of Africa guarantees you a free emergency evacuation flight, should you need it. We welcome your membership whether or not you intend to visit Africa, as your support helps us operate not only emergency evacuation but also contributes to the regular specialist outreach health support services we provide to remote facilities. |
