At Flying Doctors Nigeria, our goal is simple: to save lives by providing timely, expert medical evacuations, no matter where you are.

Across Africa, access to advanced medical care can often be a challenge. Critical specialists and state-of-the-art facilities are usually concentrated in urban centers, while patients in remote locations may face delays that cost valuable time.

That’s where we come in.

Who We Are

Flying Doctors Nigeria is West Africa’s first indigenous air ambulance service, founded to bridge the gap between emergencies and access to critical care. We operate a 24/7 air and ground ambulance service, equipped with ICU-level medical equipment and staffed by highly trained doctors, paramedics, and support staff.

Our services are available to corporate organizations, government institutions, insurance providers, international agencies, and private individuals.

Whether it’s a car accident on a rural road, a stroke offshore on an oil rig, or a child with a life-threatening illness in a remote village, we respond quickly, stabilize the patient, and transport them to the most suitable medical facility, anywhere in Nigeria or beyond.

Our Coverage

Flying Doctors Nigeria provides comprehensive national and international medevac coverage, including:

• All 36 states in Nigeria

• Remote locations in the Niger Delta, Northern Nigeria, and coastal regions

• Neighboring West and Central African countries such as Ghana, Cameroon, Togo, Benin, and Niger

• Offshore oil rigs and industrial sites

• Cross-border transfers to the UK, UAE, South Africa, and India (via our international evacuation network)

With a fleet that includes air ambulances (fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters) as well as fully equipped ground ambulances, we ensure fast, safe, and seamless transfers across diverse terrains.

Real-Life Impact

Often, our team handles high-stakes cases that require speed, precision, and care.

• A patient suffering from a life threatening illness was flown from Kano to Lagos and recovered after ICU treatment.

• A stroke patient on an offshore platform was evacuated within hours and received specialist care that saved his life.

• During the COVID-19 pandemic, we provided critical logistics support, including patient evacuations, medical supply delivery, and mobile testing infrastructure.

What Makes Us Different

Here’s what sets Flying Doctors Nigeria apart:

• Rapid response time with 24/7 dispatch

• Highly trained medical teams, including trauma doctors, anesthetists, and emergency responders

• State-of-the-art medical equipment onboard all aircraft and ambulances

• Customized solutions for oil and gas companies, event organizers, corporate health schemes, and HNIs

• End-to-end patient support: From initial triage to hospital admission

We also offer membership plans, corporate retainers, and on-demand services to ensure you or your organization is always protected in case of emergency.

Building the Future of Emergency Medicine in Africa

At Flying Doctors Nigeria, we’re more than just an air ambulance company — we’re part of the solution to Africa’s healthcare access challenge.

We’re investing in telemedicine, mobile hospitals, health infrastructure, and training to build a stronger emergency response system for the future.

Our drive is clear: No life should be lost due to lack of timely medical intervention.
