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.
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.

Having Lives Through Primary Medical Care in Remote Areas
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 of Fair Future Foundation details our work in delivering essential healthcare services to families in ultra-rural Indonesia. These stories showcase how we provide basic treatments, educate communities about preventive health, and address common illnesses. By bringing medical care directly to remote villages, we improve health outcomes and empower communities to thrive despite extreme challenges and limited resources.
