Find out about us
The scope of this service is national and the NZFD team operates 24/7 providing critical care patient transfer services between hospitals. The Trusts role is to support this life saving service and tell the community about it.
Donate
The New Zealand Flying Doctors Service could not provide critical care patient services between hospitals without the generous support from our community. We need to raise over $2m per annum to sustain this critical air ambulance service. Make a life-saving difference today by making a donation.
