Global Flying Hospitals
Global Flying Hospitals is a non-profit organization that provides medical care and health education to people in developing countries. The organization uses specially equipped aircraft to deliver medical teams and supplies to areas where healthcare is limited or non-existent.
History[edit | edit source]
Global Flying Hospitals was founded in 2007 by Gary Stacey, a former airline pilot. The organization's first mission was to Cambodia, where they provided medical care to over 1,000 people. Since then, Global Flying Hospitals has conducted missions to several other countries, including Mongolia, Myanmar, and Nepal.
Mission[edit | edit source]
The mission of Global Flying Hospitals is to provide quality healthcare to people in developing countries who would otherwise not have access to such services. The organization achieves this by using aircraft to transport medical teams and supplies to these areas. The aircraft are equipped with operating rooms, intensive care units, and other medical facilities, allowing the teams to perform surgeries and other procedures on-site.
Operations[edit | edit source]
Global Flying Hospitals operates a fleet of aircraft, including a Boeing 747 and a Lockheed L-1011. These aircraft are equipped with medical facilities and can be quickly deployed to areas in need. The organization also has a team of volunteer medical professionals who provide the healthcare services on the missions.
Partnerships[edit | edit source]
Global Flying Hospitals partners with other non-profit organizations, governments, and corporations to achieve its mission. These partners provide funding, supplies, and personnel to support the organization's operations.
Impact[edit | edit source]
Since its founding, Global Flying Hospitals has provided healthcare services to thousands of people in developing countries. The organization's work has been recognized by several international bodies, including the United Nations.
