become ill. Today The Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia covers over 80 per cent of Australia. The service treats around 160,000 people each year,
with 17,000 emergency evacuations. From 16 bases The Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia now provides emergency services, routine clinics, radio
