AMREF Flying Doctors provides air evacuation services in medical emergencies across East Africa, as well as air ambulance transfers between medical facilities.

AMREF Flying Doctors is Africa’s leading provider of air ambulance services and operates across many East African countries including Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania and, when clearance can be obtained, most neighbouring countries including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea, Somalia, Ethiopia, Rwanda and Burundi. Subject to flight clearances, the Flying Doctors will carry out evacuations from anywhere on the African continent.

In addition, patients can be repatriated via an AMREF Flying Doctors plane to Europe, Asia and North America or a medical escort can be provided on commercial carriers.

AMREF Flying Doctors operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. As a vital link between remote areas and AMREF's Control Centre at Wilson Airport in Nairobi, AMREF has established a radio network that comprises over 100 HF radio stations across East Africa, making it the largest two-way radio network in Africa.

As well as emergency evacuations, AMREF Flying Doctors provides a medial outreach programme, taking essential health care to some of the most impoverished and remote areas of Africa.

AMREF Flying Doctors, part of the African Medical and Research Foundation, is based in Nairobi, Kenya and has been delivering health care to some of the most remote areas of east Africa since its formation in 1957 by Sir Michael Wood.

AMREF Flying Doctors is committed to providing world-class medical services to the people of Africa.
