Flying Medical Service is an NGO in Tanzania, for more information n the work we do, please have a look at our Facebook page or the website. We need a replacement aircraft like this after a spectacular loss last week…
This is a typical scene, the aircraft, the people (here Masai) waiting for their turn either for vaccination or treatment.
Our missed C 206 taking off from Arusha on a beautiful morning. Mt Meru in full glory.
A village and an airstrip near the active volcano Lengai. Some places are really remote, without even a decent dirt track.
Masai people can walk for quite some distance to see us every 2 weeks.
Things change. 10 years ago, none of our clinics had a network.
Masai pregnant women receive a tetanus vaccination shot.
A lady carefully listens to our doctor.
A typical village without any form of facility. The closest hospital is 2 days away for a fit warrior.
Sometimes we have a hut, so the doctor can work in a private environment and have a shelter, sometimes the wing is all we get.
