Hospital Assistance FlightsMAF has the privilege of supporting the work of Friendship’s three floating hospitals in Bangladesh. For the char dwellers that live along the river, the only way they can receive medical treatment is through Friendship’s floating hospitals. Bringing international doctors, medical supplies, and personnel to Friendship’s remote floating hospitals is a perfect match for the service MAF provides with its amphibious aircraft.
