Flying Doctor Service Aid to Australia's Isolated Farmers
The Flying Doctor Service, founded in 1928 by Rev. John Flynn, delivers medical care to remote central desert farmers. Centers circle the continent, with pilots landing on any terrain day or night to treat patients or transport them to base hospitals. Funded by voluntary taxes and community contributions, the service also adds flying dentists and nurses to assist, while preserving high infant survival rates in Australia.
