(Okavango Air Rescue) was founded in 2011 by Swiss entrepreneur Christian Gross and German Dr. Misha S. Kruck in Botswana Okavango Delta, considered one of the seven wonders of Africa and inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 2014, covers an area over 20,000 km2. The O.A.R. is a private and independent organization that aims to provide medical assistance services to locals and tourists, for it has a team of doctors, pilots, nurses, paramedics, and administrative staff, who counts with two Pilatus PC-12 fixed-wing aircraft and two Bell Jetranger 206 III helicopters and run a polyclinic. Since its foundation, it has rescued more than 1,500 critically ill patients by air and provided medical care to over 20,000 people through its polyclinic.
