Supporting Health Access with Amref Flying Doctors

In Eastern Africa, a large population of remote and marginalized societies continues to encounter difficulties in getting quality health care services. This is where Supporting Health Access with Amref Flying Doctors intervenes with emergency medical aid and other community health programs in the region. Somak Safaris is honored to be part of this urgent cause by facilitating travelers exploring East Africa to assist the communities around them that they travel to.

Further, to fulfill these vital objectives, Somak Safaris offers the Amref ‘Maisha’ Air Ambulance cover for free with all East Africa holidays in support of their community efforts. This extremely useful cover helps provide lower medical insurance for Amref while also ensuring that we do not expose our guests to undue stress. In addition, for every traveler who books with us, Somak contributes $5 to Amref Health Africa, which is one of the most reputable health-focused NGOs in Africa. If we don't use the cover for the air ambulance service, we donate it to Amref for use in helping change lives.

Supporting Health Access with Amref Flying Doctors is commendable work for not just African organizations but for these women who were always left behind. Amref has championed resource distribution by partnering with local communities and creating the knowledge and skill necessary in transforming public health and alleviating poverty on the core of their values serving women and children. Somak Safaris collaborates with Amref closely.

Additionally, the ventures with Amref congruently yield a stark positive boost to communities in Eastern Africa. These contributions enable community empowerment as well as the sustenance of vital healthcare services which coincide with the region that we proudly reside in. Along with that, Amref strives to reform the existing healthcare systems and facilitate better outreach for the rest of East Africa, bolstering the health systems whilst restoring hopes. Hence, these tangible and intangible services ensure and align with Somak’s noble values – responsible tourism.

To wrap up with today’s day and age, thanking Amref is quite the understatement. Everyone, and there’s no shame in working towards a common goal. More so when there’s a charitable and noble action involved, so the next time you journey with Somak, remember you’ll be working towards uplifting several communities and improving healthcare access across Eastern Africa alongside us. Together and only together can an everlasting mark be left whilst ensuring the travel experience is never forgotten - via Supporting Health Access with Amref Flying Doctors.
