The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) has launched its annual May fundraising campaign.

RFDS general manager of marketing and stakeholder relations, Charlie Paterson, said the flying doctor is needed now more than ever.

“Through the COVID-19 pandemic the RFDS continues to fly eight Territorians every day to evacuate someone in need of emergency medical care,” Mr Paterson said.

“We have transported many COVID-19 patients across the country since the virus reached Australia, and we will continue to do so when and where required.

Full access to our journalism – just $1 for the first 28 days.

“We rely on the support of the community to bridge the gap in our operational funding and to purchase and medically-equip our aircraft.”
