AMREF Flying Doctor Service in Kenya is the largest and best-known Air Ambulance Service in the region. The service provides 24 hour Air Ambulance in Kenya, all neighboring countries and beyond. Patients are also evacuated to South Africa, Europe, Asia and North America by private Air Ambulance or on commercial airline with medical escort.
Full time medical staff and aircrew are on standby 24hours to respond to emergencies. Patient will be accompanied by an emergency physician and/or critical care nurse, who have all worked for several years in intensive care medicine, are certified in advanced life support and have longstanding aero-medical experience
With the largest radio network, some 120 High Frequency stations, AMREF Flying Doctors are able to communicate with medical centers, hospital or tourist lodges in remote locations, who in turn can contact the 24 hours Control Center in Nairobi to arrange medical advice. Membership to this vital service is available for individuals, corporations and tourists.
Flying Doctor’s Air Ambulance Service supports the charitable Outreach program that takes medical specialists to remote health facilities throughout the Eastern African region – an area the size of Western Europe. Any surplus generated through the Air Ambulance Service directly supports the charity work of the Flying Doctors.
