The Kawan Against Malaria category documents integrated efforts to reduce malaria transmission in ultra-rural settings where the disease remains a major public health threat.
Articles describe community-based prevention, including use of long-lasting insecticidal nets, environmental risk reduction, early diagnosis, and timely treatment. Interventions follow WHO malaria control strategies, combining prevention, surveillance, and access to care. This category highlights how coordinated field actions, local training, and continuous monitoring reduce malaria incidence, protect vulnerable populations, and strengthen community-level disease control.

Malaria has a significant impact on Eastern Indonesia, specifically Sumba Timur, due to its remote and inaccessible locations, insufficient healthcare infrastructure, and limited preventative measures. Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax malaria are both prevalent in these areas, with malaria transmission occurring year-round.

To make it simple and short, we urgently need a lot of medicines (see the list attached in the post) and sanitary equipment such as antiseptics, dressings and other small miscellaneous equipment. Indeed, friends, all our stocks are almost finished because we have prescribed or used everything, which is a good thing.
Fair Future issues an intense red alert linked to the case of malaria, which is reaching a critical level here in East Sumba, Indonesia. For weeks, thousands of malaria cases have been recorded here in East Sumba. This figure is nevertheless to be taken conditionally because, in many villages, people do not have an identity card or a family book…
Malaria is one of the most severe public health problems in the world. Here in Indonesia, and especially in the eastern regions, it is one of the leading causes of death and disease. Children under five years old and pregnant women are the most affected groups.
As part of the project for access to primary medical care for children in rural areas of eastern Indonesia, the foundation needs you to balance its budget. We want to be able to load our medical truck as much as possible in order to reduce logistics costs.
