Zambia Flying Doctor Service – providing medical and health services in remote

President’s Message Republican President

Fellow Citizens, health is key to attaining a healthy and productive population. Health is not only a social determinant but an economic commodity to enhance human development. There are, however, inequalities in health service delivery, especially between rural and urban areas. This calls for institutional and systems strengthening to ensure health security for the nation. Our administration will enhance healthcare financing to improve the quality of health service delivery. We will also ensure that rural and urban communities are involved in the planning and delivery of health services as closer to our people as possible.

Minister’s Message Health Minister

The Ministry aims to provide effective quality healthcare services close to the family as possible. This ensures equity of access to health service delivery and contributes to the human and socioeconomic development. The ministry also targets to attain Sustainable Development Goals on health and other national health priorities.

We, therefore, lay a challenge to all employees to up their game, while an assurance goes out to all Zambians that we shall endeavour to provide the best aeromedical services. read more...

Message from the CEO

As we embark on a renewed journey of becoming the leading and preferred aero-medical service provider, our focus on provision of cost-effective, quality, and efficient aero-medical services to remote hard-to-reach areas and other places countrywide is key. This is the sure way to contribute to the improvement of the well-being of our fellow citizens. Clearly, there is inequitable access to basic health services in our country between provinces and between urban and rural areas. In urban areas, 99 percent of households are within 5 kilometres of a health facility compared to 50 per cent in rural areas. read more...
