PDU PKD Kinta - Perkhidmatan Doktor Udara (Flying Doctor Service)

The Orang Asli, although a minority in the Peninsula of Malaysia, are the original people of our land. That the Orang Asli community choose to continue to live in the interior is not a sign that they are backward but a sign that they value their cultural background and rich heritage and want to continue living in that way. It is often extremely difficult to reach some Orang Asli communities. Only helicopters can reach remote locations and meet the needs of these wonderful people. A service like the Flying Doctor Service that reaches the ‘unreached’ community is essential and a Lifeline to our Orang Asli people.
