This is a total smoke screen. The organization has NEVER functioned. Most of the reviews are fake. And I have waited nearly 10 years to call them out.
They met my review by lying about me and attacking me with falsehoods. Therefore, I have elected to EXPAND on my negative review. The facts are I paid for every aspect of their public face. I OWN and Control their original US incorporation #27-0464370 since August 2014 which I paid for. As of 2024, I don't know if they are even a Nonprofit anywhere.
My team developed AND I PAID FOR their website in 2012, including procuring the images from a contacts vacation photos. All of which they are still using unchanged.
ANY POTENTIAL DONORS and SPONSORS BEWARE. Do your research and get their financials and proof of their alleged claims of work performed.

Like many charities, the covid lockdowns caused many setbacks to Global Flying Hospitals, including losing corporate sponsors as they too had to close businesses. It also taught the lesson to not keep eggs in one basket, so their Board has undertaken to expand operations by operating in different hubs, based in different countries, to lessen the impact of future closures. GFH is always open to change and reinvention, especially in our changing world. I like their approach. Dr. Brayan Martinez
I have met with Neill Newton, founder of Global Flying Hospitals and assisted the organisation with marketing and media coverage. GFH is needed in the developing countries, so his vision and formula of manufacturing and supplying modern mobile clinics and emergency shelters is profound …. And brings much relief where needed, fast. This is such an amazing endeavor and it is really going to make a difference. Bravo Neill, keep up the great work!
I learned about Global Flying Hospitals back a few years ago. The idea to fly in the infrastructure for hospitals and other clinical needs to disaster areas is a fantastic model. The world needs this now in this ever changing warming climate. The mission of Global Flying Hospitals is a very noble to think that we can act globally and not just locally in our own neighborhood. I look forward to hearing great things with Global Flying Hospitals.
What started out in 2001 as a plan to refurbish a wide-bodied jet into a flying hospital, has dramatically changed into a far more affective model, of manufacturing and delivering mobile, state-of-the-art mobile clinics, fitted out as dentistry, ophthalmology through to surgical, direct to various developing countries and to medical charities or organisations working in those countries. No longer inappropriate flying hospitals, but clinics and emergency shelters ferried in large cargo jets that can operate into small challenging areas. I applaud the team at Global Flying Hospitals for their initiatives, ability to change to suit the changing and challenging world and their endless vision to help others.
Dr. Ketan Bavishi
We have undertaken medical missions to a number of developing countries, and yet the same problem has always been there; the lack of sterile, well-lit and suitable facilities to allow healthcare professionals to work. Global Flying Hospitals model of ferrying specialized clinics outfitted for ophthalmology, surgical, dental etc. is a brilliant plan that works. It allows us to provide first-class help to patients without the stress of working in unsuitable environments. BRAVO for their vision and leadership!

I had the opportunity to get to know Neill with Global Flying Hospitals about a year ago. I have been so impressed with the organization and their ability to help others I knew I had to become more involved. So now that I have had the opportunity to understand what their mission is I am delighted to be part of their growth and vision. Bravo to this magnificent team.

I have worked with Neill Newton (as Operations Manager to his CEO role). I know him as a man of integrity and vision, and wish him and GFH well. GFH's mission — providing modern medical resources, mobile clinics and emergency shelters (etc.) to developing countries — is most definitely worthy of support.
Community Shares in Australia have worked with Neill Newton, founder of GFH, and raised over $AUD 6 million for charitable causes in Australia. We think that the Global Flying Hospitals has a great vision for helping people throughout the Asia Pacific region and beyond and wish Neill and his fellow Directors every success.
As a past Administrative Manager in another firm, I worked on various initiatives with Neill Newton, founder of GFH, and I think that his humanitarian medical vision of Global Flying Hospitals is something to be proud of, Neill is an exceptional leader with a passion for humanitarian logistics. I believe Neill will achieve what he sets out to do no matter what challenges he faces along the way. Great work Neill
I really like the vision of Global Flying Hospital and I personally had the pleasure of working with the founder who is very inspirational and feels very strongly about the work they have done and are working to complete - Jennifer Pugh of Australian Horizons Foundation Ltd
I have known the founder of GFH since 2010. He has shown himself to have great initiative combined with a great desire to help those who need help the most. He's a rare talent that will leave an indelible footprint on this world for good.
I have recently learned about Global Flying Hospitals from one of the directors. I am so excited to know that an organization such as this exists. We need this now more than ever in these awful times, so it is great to know that someone cares so much about helping those in times of need. It is a very noble mission and I will do what I can to support Global Flying Hospitals and their mission.
I have been working with Neill since 2013 with the view of helping him achieve his vision of providing first class care and support anywhere and at any time. Neill has a vision unequaled, but much needed, in the world today. With so many disasters and national emergencies, we need more people like Neill and his organization. I am happy to know Neill and to continue working with him and help him achieve his vision.
Previous Stories
Without an organization such as GFH, so many needy people in remote locations would be without even basic health care. I had my first insight into GFH last year while working behind the scenes to obtain a Hercules aircraft so their vision could be fully realized. Now I feel privileged to once again be involved in researching appropriate aircraft for them to fulfill their dream of providing care where most needed in the far corners of the world. I look forward to the day I see their vision in action. To be part of this vision will give me so much personal and professional satisfaction.
GFH works with gifted medical specialists in both volunteer and paid roles, to provide world-class treatment, although in oftentimes primitive conditions. Wherever they can land their aircraft, they can provide such treatment to people in need.
I have known the founder (Neill Newton) since 2012 when we met in China. He shred his story of the vision of taking the hospital to the people and countries in need. This was truly visionary, although there was already a flying eye hospital in existence. Since that time he and his team have modified the vision to be more practical than a wide bodied jet, using cargo aircraft and purpose built roll-off mobile hospitals, in order to access unprepared and small airstrips in remote areas. In our changing world, more than ever, people need help. Deserving people need our help.
Neill and I connected over 6 years ago through our mutual passion for making a difference in humanitarian logistics and the sustainable provision of medical care to those most in need. His laser sharp focus on his vision has seen him achieve success after success no matter how immense the challenges!
He truly possesses the kind of infectious determination that is so rare today, making him without a doubt an exceptional leader in global humanitarian medical care and I sincerely hope that our path will cross again sooner than later.
Until then, Neill - I wish you and all at Global Flying Hospitals only the very best and encourage everyone to support your cause. With both natural and man made disasters on rapid increase we all need you.
Thank you
I have been following Neil Newton for over 6 years.. his love to help others in need with Global Flying Hospitals is obvious... HIs perseverance is an easy sign of his conviction to make an impact on humanity.. I highly suggest that ay
As a nurse, a social media entrepreneur and a mother, I can see the importance of the value that Global Flying Hospitals brings to the world. The ability to bring state-of-the art medical teams right to the location of the emergency is an important asset and critically valuable solution for a world filled with natural catastrophes and human-generated disasters. I encourage anyone who has the empathy to feel the pain and suffering of those less fortunate than ourselves to support Global Flying Hospitals in anyway they can, as a much needed and valuable resource for medical emergency and a force first responder social stability.
In a world of increasing natural and man made disasters, there is a growing need for resources that can replace "boots on the ground" with humanitarian medical aid on the ground - Global Flying Hospitals repurposing of military cargo planes into flying hospitals - swords into plowshares - offers a major alternative solution and brings world class medical treatment to the innocent victims of war and natural disaster.
Supporting organizations like Orbis Flying Eye Hospitals, Doctors Without Borders and other NGOs — Global Flying Hospitals, a non governmental organization, fills a critical need in professional medical treatment for catastrophic events and disaster recovery. Corporate, institutional, NGO and individual Donor support will help bring this important and timely life saving resource directly to those who need it most.
The time to make a change for the better is now! We need to bring health and happiness to as many as possible. GFH is one of the organizations that can make this happen. So join and support GFH today in their mission to create a better, healthier world for us all.
What we do today will affect tomorrow in our world. Or what we do not do will also change our world. I choose to support Global Flying Hospitals as they have this powerful plan by taking sophisticated medical care to the most poorest regions. World changing!!
I am the CEO and co-founder of the Bottom Billion Fund, a nonprofit, microfinance investment fund. We are committed to investment in high quality microfinance that includes people living in extreme poverty (living on less than $1.25/day). We believe in sustainable and scalable solutions that improve the incomes and opportunities of our poorest brothers and sisters. Often for these poorest clients, access to the basics of primary health care is a major challenge and a powerful way to end preventable child and maternal deaths,
Global Flying Hospitals and its founder Neill Newton came to my attention through my friend Peter Young, who introduced me to Neill. Neill's vision of providing temporary, high quality health care in remote areas as a stepping stone to permanent clinics and hospitals is right on the mark.
The poorest people in poor countries and regions in the world need access to health care. Global Flying Hospitals is a wonderful solution. I laud this vision and urge broad support to save the lives of women and children.
I was introduced to Global Flying Hospital by Peter Young and I will wholeheartedly say It's a blessing to get to know about Global Flying Hospital (GFH).
The aim,vision and objectives of GFH makes it an outstanding organization and I know anybody who comes in contact with this organization will out rightly support it.
The vision to bring health care and solution not only to the developing world but the remote areas of these countries in dire need of care and treatment makes this project magnificent and a worthwhile cause to support.
Coming from a developing country (Ghana) I know and have experienced how scarce and expensive health care and treatment is,especially to the underprivileged or in the remote areas.
Knowing and seeing how common diseases are killing our people is a heart breaking trauma especially if there is nothing one can personally do about it.Imagine how your soul will feel if you help save a life?
It is on this note and many others which include knowing how open minded,transparent and committed the founder (Neill Newton) is,that I wholeheartedly give my entire endorsement to support GFH and be part of the team to bring GFH to Africa to help save the lives of these underprivileged people.
A note to thank GFH for making a difference. I know Global Flying Hospital since over 10 years and have assisted their vision ever since I met their outstanding leadership. There were many factors involved in my decision to support; however, most important is that the professionalism Global Flying Hospitals is delivering much required assistance and the passion to help as an organization in an unique and efficient manner. BRAVO!
Global Flying Hospitals is an outstanding organization that works on an innovative aeromedical model to providing capacity building and health service delivery to underserved communities. Through their innovative partnerships and developing of "mobile medical units" to be flown onboard aircraft, they have broadened their reach and scope of service tremendously. I expect to continue hearing great things about GFH!
I found out about this incredible organization through my friend Frankie P. in Toronto Canada. She has a passion for giving and when she told me about Global Flying Hospitals, I knew she was with an organization that could and WOULD make a big DIFFERENCE in our world.
The vision of GFH is a paradigm shift in the way we look at caring for others. Making a contribution to them with your time and of course your dollars and cents -- just makes extremely good sense.
GFH is a charity with a great vision, that of bringing health care to those in remote sites in desperate need of treatment. It overcomes difficulties experienced with traditional ways of providing healthcare support to developing countries. GFH airplanes will be able to reach where the others can't, and can bring state of the art equipment and doctors to contexts where that is only dreamed of. The resilience of this humanitarian organisation in face of a global crisis is in itself commendable and far exceeds expectations. GFH reinvented itself in Asia, but it is more global than ever. I provide pro bono legal advice in Macau for GFH and I have witnessed a daily effort in setting and expanding the organisation. GFH passed the tests and hurdles with flying colours!
With many disasters around the world and will continue to happen, we want to reach the sick and unfortunate by working with NGOs, Governments and UN, in emergency relief and also when the volunteers have left.
In addition, we intend to contribute to the standards of medical staff in the countries we visit.
We have a team that is passionate to the mission and cause of GFH.
It was in 2006 that I was first introduced to Neill Newton and Global Flying Hospitals.
From the outset on hearing from Neill and the outline / vision he had for GFH, my family and I knew this was an organisation that would be a world leader in the provision of medical care and medicinal training to the parts of the world that are not with the luxuries that others have available.
We knew that Neill had the vision.
We also knew that GFH is something that is needed in this ailing world.
The ability to quickly and efficiently get mobile clinics to the remote parts of the world that are in dire need of such help and support. To get leaders from their speciality fields of medicine to locations elsewhere in the world to not just perform but to also be the teachers of others, is a big, bold vision.
But that vision is achievable.
The required professionals are there....
The tools and equipment to make this happen are there....
And the people requiring this care are definitely there.
The business model of using versatile C-130 aircraft and mobile/deployable hospitals is solid and sound.
The solution will be life changing for many. It will bring not just life but also hope to the people that are desperately requiring this help.
The ability to load, transport and then unload/setup a state of the art medical facility in a location that would never have this sort of capability will impact the lives of many.
I take my hat off to Neill for sticking to the GFH vision through the hard years.
This is one organisation that I put 100% support behind and I look forward to seeing that large bright butterfly on the tail of many aircraft.

Global Flying Hospitals, through Dr. Neil Newton since original introduction have been diligent and tenacious helping advise and deliver assistance in and for the needs of many. Professional staff follows though in keeping door open for communications.
Whilst during my tenure as Hotel Manager of the Sofitel Macau I was introduced to Mr. Neill Newton. A persevering gentleman, with an extraordinary humanitarian vision and working tirelessly to making a medical philanthropic organization stand its own within an increasingly less bounteous community. Not an easy task!
Neill determined, hard-working and enthusiastic character is affectionate from the moment you will meet with him. His values/convictions and humanitarian point of view are admirable and unique. So much so that after we met Neill the first time we pledged and committed our company/hotel support in launching a unique and visionary initiative in a profound new role by engaging as a corporate sponsor of Global Flying Hospitals.
Sofitel’s tag line states; “Life is Magnifique”. Meaning life in a Sofitel hotel property is indeed magnificent, with a strong French influence from this French hotel group. Global Flying Hospitals tag line states; “Life is beautiful!” Share it. Which simply means, for those enjoying life, let us also share with our less fortunate neighbours in developing countries. Both the management of Sofitel and Global Flying Hospitals agree, that life is indeed magnifique … and should be shared.
Through our combined efforts in various projects by raising monetary funds we have a vision. To utilize our luxury environment and surrounding to spur our guests to assist and share in the healing of our ailing planet, by supporting this humanitarian medical charity. By staying at a Sofitel Luxury Hotel and choosing Sofitel as your hotel of choice, you will be able to say Life is Magnifique… and to share with others via Global Flying Hospitals.
Should you like to know more about our combined efforts, look me up and I would delighted to share with you our undertakings and subsequent achievements.

I have been introduced to Global Flying Hospitals by others who have serious interest in seeing such a philanthropy take off, literally as well as figuratively. I have been asked about it due to my extensive background in starting and running airlines in challenging areas of the world, including those places where GFH intends to operate, as well as my interest in humanitarian airlift operations. I find Mr. Neill Newton to be thoroughly earnest and sincerely desirous of making this happen in a good way, a very refreshing breath of fresh air as compared with the multitude of poseurs and B.S.ers who unfortunately populate the scene.
In addition to the vision and dedication which Mr. Newton and his associates bring to this endeavor, I find them to also be unusually open and intellectually honest, eagerly accepting opinions and advice which does not necessarily adhere to their own ideas. A significant example is the recent change in intended aircraft type and operational tempo to be pursued; most such people have their ideas and do not wish to hear why something else may be more productive. This team is not only open to it, but has demonstrated their willingness to change direction, as a result. That is extremely impressive and heartening.
I wholeheartedly endorse Global Flying Hospitals on the basis of its stated goals and missions but, more importantly, due to the dedication, openness and impeccable ethics of its Founder and team.
With prayers, love and pure tanasity Neill Newton, overcame what many thought wss an impossibility.
Neill and his dedicated team overcame what to some appeared to be unsurmountable obsticals to fulfill his dream and passion to serve the peoples of the world and change lives one person at a time
Global Flying Hospital, who would have thouht!!!! Only a true visionary, only Neill Newton.
God speed Neill..
What do you call a man who asks for nothing in return for what they do and runs a service that only gives to those people who have nothing. For well over a decade Neill Newton has lead Global Flying Hospital on and on.
There mission is simple, care where care is needed.
In a world where millions of dollars are made on movies about poverty or make believe world domination Global Flying Hospital stands up for the real world and those people in pain and in need of help.
You would think that this noble cause would excel and have those with multi millions of dollars to spare lining up to donate but all that occurs at the moment is that Global Flying Hospital excels without a line of anything.
What makes a man give up his family, his possessions, life style, his country, only to pursue a venture that has many frustrations but also many rewards, rewards you say, try receiving the smile of a women who's life is turned around because her fistula is repaired or someone's sight is restored or a hair lip is mended.
In the words of George Orwell in his book Animal Farm 'Áll animals are equal, but some are more equal than others'
What is your measure of equal?
I am Vic Newton, Neill's brother and know and speak the truth and the truth is Global Flying Hospital needs your donation to keep flying.

As the lead member of an active Global Alliance of complementary Social Entrepreneurs dedicated to eradicating extreme poverty throughout our world, I was introduced, in January, 2012, to a man whose dream was to bring modern medicine to third and emerging world countries.
The man with 25 years of international executive experience in multiple disciplines in the US, China, Scotland, Singapore, Malaysia and Australia who pioneered the concept of Differentiation in Business, and presented his message via Keynotes, seminars, and consultancies, to over 11,000 businesses ... and over 750,000 people via books, audio etc...
... and gave everything up in 2001 to focus on building the medical aviation fleet for people in need in developing countries.
That man is Neill Newton, Founder & Chairman of Global Flying Hospitals, he is an inspiration to us all, and has our total support in everything he does.
If you want to be inspired by a true leader, or you are a Philanthropist who is looking for an organization that is really making a difference where it is needed most, support Neill and his amazing team.

The global need for the provision of medical care has never been greater and GFH, under the competent leadership of CEO Neill Newton, is leading the charge to save lives and provide medical care on a world wide scope. Your support of GFH will meet critical needs across the world.
Global Flying Hospitals (GFH) and its leadership have a great vision for providing medical and relief services to those in need around the world. I first met Neill Newton, Chairman of Global Flying Hospitals, in 2002 when he introduced me to the GFH vision. Since then, I've had the honor to work with Mr. Newton on various charitable, research, and business projects.
Mr. Newton is a unique visionary thinker who works tirelessly to make GFH a practical, results-oriented, global aid provider. In the time I've known Mr. Newton, I've been continually impressed by his consistent ethical stance and his focus on integrity in all his personal and professional activities.
For anyone interested in supporting global charitable work, I highly recommend contacting Mr. Neill Newton at Global Flying Hospitals to explore the possibilities.

Global Flying Hospitals (GFH) is run rather well by its Chairman, Mr. Neill Newton. I first met with him in Sydney while there on company business.
Many years ago Neill gave up a profitable, publishing and consulting venture to fund and run GFH. It was his dream to bring modern medicine to third and emerging world countries. It will be a reality.
All charities are faced with declining numbers of contributors and donations. However, this should be high on the list of deserving qualified charitable groups. If you care about people and want them to at least have access to and / or be trained in the applied use of modern healthcare, then this is where you should focus.
You can tell a great deal about someone when you sit in front of them and look the head of an organization in the eye and ask the really hard questions. My experience is that this man, his organization and the work they are doing and want to do will benefit mankind.
Our company has pledged a substantial amount of money for this effort from future ventures and profits. We feel that strongly. If you have questions, look me up, let me know if I like GFH can be helpful.
