Flying Medical Service is a non-profit, strictly volunteer organization which provides regular preventive and curative health care as well as health education services. FMS provides medical services for people throughout Tanzania regardless of religious affiliation, ethnic background or ability to pay. We also provide air transport for medical emergencies. Based at Arusha airport in Northern Tanzania since 1983, we operate two specially equipped Cessna 206 aircraft. Our focus is on the poor and the marginalized. Our commitment is primarily to them. All flights and medical treatment are subsidized. Our work depends entirely on donations.
