Isolation kills

But MAF saves lives. Now you can restore hope.

 

Your gift of £17.29 will provide and deliver a care pack to a critically-ill patient and their family in hospital.

Isolation can be deadly. In the remote country of Timor-Leste, many people live several days’ walk – or even a rough boat crossing – from the only hospital in the capital, Dili, meaning even treatable illnesses can turn fatal. But it doesn’t have to be this way. MAF provides the only air ambulance service in the country, medically evacuating an average of one person a day, on-call 365 days a year.

The impact of isolation is so often heart-breaking.

Put yourself in their shoes. You’ve been flown in a light aircraft for the first time, to a hospital hundreds of miles from home, in a vulnerable state, without any personal belongings and no idea how long you’ll be there. This is the reality faced by most patients we fly to hospital. The MAF Timor-Leste programme saw this need and started a project to address it.

‘When patients get picked up by MAF they are very remote and very poorly. Some have no food, no clean clothes and no contact with their rural village. MAF saw this need and started the care pack project.’
