ROYAL FLYING DOCTERS

90 years of the Royal Flying Doctors - Behind the News Imagine what it would be like living far away from any doctors or hospitals. What would you do if you needed a check-up or even had a serious medical emergency? Well, that's a real situation for people living in remote parts of Australia.
The RFDS began as the dream of the Rev John Flynn, a minister with the Presbyterian Church. He witnessed the daily struggle of pioneers living in remote areas where just two doctors provided the only medical care for an area of almost 2 million square kilometres.
