Primary Medical 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.
