"The Flying Doctor services have been developed over the last 35 years — Their original aim was to provide medical care for those living in isolated regions and for people scattered over vast areas — After describing the organisation of the Flying Doctor services the author speaks of the extension of this type of organisation to other fields: education, meteorology, general information — Such services are generally suitable for countries with low population density; they depend on considerable financial support, trained staff and an efficient communications system.
