Since 2016, Aviation Sans Frontières (ASF) has been supporting the project Medicine by Air of the NGO Médicaéro, thanks to your generosity.

Four times a year we provide air transport for a multidisciplinary medical team of volunteers to hospitals in remote areas of the Ampanihy district in Madagascar.

As Xavier Vincke, Director of Programs at Aviation Sans Frontières Belgium, explains: "To reach the city of Ampanihy you have to drive for 12 hours in a 4x4 on rutted tracks. Not only the vehicles and passengers are severely put to the test, but also attacks by bandits are a significant threat. With a flight of 45 minutes, the distance is covered by air. So, it goes without saying that the plane is an enormous lifesaving tool".

The Medicine by Air project does not only provide medical treatments and medicines; it also ensures exchange of experiences, competence building of local staff and practice education for Madagascar students.
