Amref Health Africa Onlus

Founded in Africa in 1957, Amref is the largest non-profit health organization working in Africa and can boast better knowledge of that territory than anyone else. For over 60 years it has been providing health aid to the inhabitants of the most remote areas of the continent thanks to the "Flying Doctors", always ready to fly to sub-Saharan Africa on board small planes fitted out as ambulances, managing to reach more than 10 million people every year also through the collaboration of community operators with expertise in hygienic-sanitary issues, the outreach of specialist doctors in the most remote areas of the continent, and thanks to the activities carried out in the health facilities managed in the countries, with the work of trained health personnel and the support of new technologies, with which it spreads fundamental messages for the protection of health. We believe that needs and rights are globally interdependent and promote the right to health as a universal right. AMREF operates in Italy and in 35 countries, bringing out African solutions for African problems.
