At Samaritan Aviation, we know there are thousands in the province of East Sepik that do not have immediate access to life-saving medical care. When there is only one hospital in the region and the way to travel there is treacherous, those who desperately need attention are left vulnerable and exposed. In 1994, Mark Palm and a friend traveled to Papua New Guinea. After traveling through the country for several weeks and seeing the spiritual and medical needs, they felt called to establish an aviation medical service. As the plan unfolded, our leadership team and missionary team continued to grow… to provide the people in the region with hope that only comes through Jesus and access to life-saving medical services.
