4. In 2000, the World Health Organization ranked the Honduran
healthcare system at 131 (of 190) in the entire world – the lowest
ranking of all Central American countries.
With few exceptions, the government provides little or no health
services in the Moskitia region, leaving the vast majority of care to
be supplied by charity and missionary organizations.
The lack of infrastructure (roads) in the region makes healthcare
delivery virtually impossible without the use of aircraft.

11. Clinica Evangelica Morava
Ahuas, Gracias a Dios, Honduras
MAG works in partnership with a Honduran charity Alas de Socorro (Wings of
Help) to provide air support to the hospital in Ahuas.
Since 2005, MAG has supplied a missionary pilot/mechanic to fly and maintain two
Cessna 206 aircraft based in Ahuas. These aircraft provide emergency medical
evacuation services, transportation for hospital staff, and form a vital supply link
for the hospital and surrounding area.
MAG personnel are volunteers, raising their own financial support in order bring
medical care to the Miskito people by providing 400-500 flight hours and hundreds
of hours of aircraft maintenance support annually. This translates directly into
hundreds of lives saved per year!

Located only 5 miles from the Nicaragua border,
but nearly 60 miles from the nearest Honduran

Nicaragua in the 1980's.
