The GSMSG is a charitable non-profit organisation that represents over 1,200 medical professionals who dedicate time to offer top-tier services in austere settings overseas and serve populations in need.
As the official airline partner of GSMSG, Qatar Airways will fly medical volunteers on duty to several international destinations. Qatar Airways’ global network will support the organisation to expand its reach further to provide medical and surgical care, training of physicians and medical staff, as well as respond to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

As an airline that connects communities and people worldwide, they are delighted to support GSMSG’s highly commendable initiative and through their robust international network help, the medical teams reach more people around the world.
They at Qatar Airways are incredibly grateful for the commitment and hard work of healthcare professionals.
