Amref Health Africa
Amref Health Africa started life in 1957 as the Flying
Doctors of East Africa, and have since become Africa’s
leading health development organisation, bringing good
quality health care closer to those who need it most.
Headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, Amref Health Africa is a
truly African organisation whose vision is lasting health
change in Africa. The charity focuses on the needs of
women and children in the belief that doing this
improves the health of the whole community. They've
made pregnancy safer by training over half a million
health workers, who provide a lifeline for mothers and
children in remote and poor communities in Africa.
Amref Air Ambulance Cover
Somak Holidays are delighted to offer complimentary Amref
Flying Doctors 'Maisha' Air Ambulance cover with every
holiday to East Africa. This fully covers the service of an air
ambulance evacuation, if required, and the transfer of
patients to the nearest hospital. What’s more, Amref will
take over liaising with the overseas travel insurance provider.
What if I don’t use my cover?
With each booking, Somak Holidays contributes US$5 for
the Air Ambulance Cover. In the absence of any illness or
injuries the US$5 cover is donated to Amref Health Africa.
The donation is put towards regional humanitarian work,
charity evacuations and surgical outreach programmes for
the less fortunate in East Africa. So far Somak Holidays
have donated over $9,000 to Amref Health Africa.
