Ongoing HIV and AIDS education and prevention work
Through the Primary Medical Care program, Kawan Sehat health workers provide treatment for fevers, wounds, and malaria in villages lacking access to doctors. They carry essential medicines, adhere to established medical protocols, and refer emergency cases promptly to prevent delays in care.

Fair Future Foundation’s Primary Medical Care initiative is a lifeline for remote communities in East Sumba. By providing essential healthcare where access is nearly impossible, this program saves lives. Our approach empowers local women as Kawan Sehat health agents, ensuring that even the most isolated villages receive vital medical attention. This unique program is building healthier, more resilient communities.
The Primary Medical Care category documents the delivery of essential healthcare services in ultra-rural settings where access to doctors and facilities is limited or absent. Articles describe how trained health agents provide first-line care, manage common illnesses, treat injuries, monitor chronic conditions, and identify early warning signs requiring referral. This work follows WHO primary health care principles, combining treatment, prevention, and continuity of care. By bringing structured medical care directly to communities, this category highlights measurable improvements in health outcomes, safety, and resilience under real field constraints.
The Water Connections Program provides sustainable access to clean water through ferrocement reservoirs, toilets, and food gardens. In ultra-rural Indonesia, water is the start of health, nutrition, and education. Without it, life is impossible. With it, dignity returns.
Kawan Sehat agents are trained women from rural villages who deliver medical care where no other system exists. Their work is vital, human, and lifesaving—guided by knowledge, trust, and compassion.
Fair Future Foundation and Kawan Baik Indonesia made a primary medical care donation of CHF 19,248.96 (around IDR 400 million) covering 32% of the program’s 2025–2026 budget. This funding sustains healthcare access for thousands of people in ultra-rural Indonesian regions lacking clinics, doctors, or medicines.
Primary Medical Care brings professional health services to isolated areas of Indonesia. Without clinics or doctors, we train agents, treat the sick, and deliver essential medicine and care, directly to the people.
Erwin, the Field Coordinator of the Primary Medical Care programme, spends days crossing muddy roads, broken bridges, and steep trails to deliver medicines to Kawan Sehat agents. His work keeps remote East Sumba villages connected to lifesaving care, dignity, and trusted medical support.
In May, 21 Kawan Sehat health agents completed intensive training in primary care. They now serve nearly 1,000 patients each month in remote Indonesian villages, offering medical treatment, prevention, and education where no doctors are available.
This new photo of the day shows Erwin delivering a Kawan Sehat certificate to Ibu Anggi in Laindatang. It’s not just a document, but a symbol of her essential role in healthcare delivery where there are no doctors.
Fair Future creates mobile health apps designed for health agents working in remote areas. These offline-capable tools help diagnose diseases, manage emergencies, and guide rural care, empowering medical action.
In May 2025, Kawan Sehat agents completed a powerful three-day training in East Sumba, boosting their medical skills, restocking kits, and preparing to treat hundreds in ultra-rural areas.
Fair Future Foundation has published two essential guides: an updated training manual for health agents and a booklet on using educational posters, helping communities in remote Indonesia manage health challenges and save lives.
In East Sumba, women carry life-saving care on their backs. These medical backpacks contain over 50 essential items and are central to Fair Future’s Primary Medical Care program. A tool of autonomy and survival.
Erwin prepares life-saving medical kits for health agents working in villages without doctors, pharmacies, or roads. Logistics becomes a vital part of healthcare for thousands in East Sumba.
