Global Flying Hospitals


Global Flying Hospitals is the humanitarian medical charity based in Macau SAR. It is the Logistics Resource to the world's humanitarian medical charities. It was founded in 2001 in the USA, by Australian born Neill Newton, to provide medical focus in the Developing World. The charity manufactures and delivers equipment and supplies, such as high-tech, 21st Century mobile medical clinics into regions requiring services, ferried in specialized aircraft as ILyushin 76 cargo jets.

Mission

From 2014 to 2019, GFH was reorganized. Its operation hub remains in Macau SAR as the Head Office, with manufacturing of clinics on the China mainland, as GFH Manufacturing. A new Board, new selection of aircraft, new funding model and new vision of providing resources to alliance humanitarian charities... rather than launching its own missions, became the new focus of this reorganization. The organization is overseered by a Board of Directors, CFO, CEO, Chief Engineer and other executives. Newton is the organization's CEO, Chairman and Founder.

Head Office

In 2009, Global Flying Hospitals Association was moved from the USA and received approval from the Macau SAR government.
On January 11, 2012, Sofitel Luxury Hotels engaged as an alliance sponsor of Global Flying Hospitals, at a signing ceremony, attended by VIPs, the media and invited guests. With this alliance, the Sofitel Hotels throughout Asia invited guest to donate and support the charity. Dedicated brochures and an in-room television channel further promoted the alliance.

Planned Forward Hubs

The charity is currently working to open three operational bases in Africa, Sth. America and in Macau to serve South-East Asia, India and East Africa.
