Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia is older...

There's a claim that LIFEGUARD is the oldest non-military air ambulance service in the world, but the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia is non-military and older. However, the royal flying doctors where the first to bring the doctor to the patient (1928), meanwhile Saskatchewan air ambulance dealt in bringing the patient to the doctor in larger population centers (1946), and this is where the discrepancy comes from. One being a doctor transport (fully equipped for off site patient care) while the other being a dedicated (fully equipped) air ambulance. Each organization has run continuously for more than 75 years and together make up the most experienced medevac organizations in the world despite being on different continents. They continue to collaborate with each other to bring the best health care to patients as possible.
