About Us
Flying Medical Service is a strictly non-profit, volunteer organization, which provides regular preventative and curative health care as well as health education services. We also provide air transport for medical emergencies.
We try to be affordable and sustainable.
FMS provides medical transport for people throughout Tanzania regardless of religious affiliation, ethnic background or ability to pay. We work in remote areas that are far from regular health care facilities.
FMS has full-time volunteer staff, most of whom are pilots and paramedics. We have volunteer doctors and nurses on stand-by. The government of Tanzania has granted us important exemptions. This helps us to provide our service as affordably as possible for the average Tanzanian citizen. All flights are subsidized.
Our work depends entirely on donations.
