FlySpec Celebrating 40 Years of Service to Zambia

FlySpec, Zambia’s specialised medical flying doctor service has brought dedicated and skilled orthopaedic and reconstructive plastic surgery to individuals in remote and rural communities since the early 1980s.

Such specialised treatment would otherwise not be possible for the people living in areas outside Lusaka, the capital city of Zambia. Most patients simply cannot afford either the money or the time to make the journey to Lusaka. FlySpec delivered surgery can be both lifesaving and life changing for many people, enabling them to live a productive life within their community. Most of the patients treated by the service are children. Surgery aims to treat congenital deformities such as Club Feet, Cleft lip & Palate along with Bone & Joint infections, Neglected Fractures, and Burns of all ages, including the resulting devastating complications. 

On Saturday the 25th of June FlySpec will be celebrating 40 years of service to Zambia (1982-2022) at the Taj Pamodzi Hotel from 13.00hrs-16.00hrs. Members of the aviation community are warmly invited to attend - the only request is to RSVP to +260-776460615 for catering purposes.
