Kawan Sehat Health Agents Certified in Rural Sumba
In the remote communities of East Sumba, 20 new Kawan Sehat health agents have been certified through the Primary Medical Care program.

Their dedication and increasing proficiency are crucial for the well-being of their communities, representing a significant milestone in rural healthcare.
