PRIMARY MEDICAL CARE AND DISEASE PREVENTION
Where no doctor is available, care must reach people directly. Fair Future Foundation delivers primary medical care and disease prevention through trained local health agents following structured protocols. Treatment of common illnesses, fever, wounds, and malaria is combined with hygiene, vaccination, and community education. This integrated model reflects WHO public health principles, where prevention and care form a single, continuous medical response.
The Medical & Prevention category focuses on evidence-based field medicine and public health actions implemented in ultra-rural contexts. It documents how primary medical care, disease prevention, and early intervention reduce morbidity and mortality where access to healthcare is absent. Articles address infectious diseases, maternal and child health, hygiene, vaccination, and community education, aligned with WHO recommendations. Beyond theory, this section presents concrete medical practices carried out on the ground by trained local health agents, highlighting how prevention remains the most effective and sustainable medical act in vulnerable populations.
What We Learn by Being There
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.
Medical Donation to RSUD Waingapu
Fair Future and Kawan Baik Foundations delivers over 40 types of medical equipment to RSUD Waingapu, the only referral hospital for 800000 people in East Sumba. This life-saving donation strengthens neonatal, surgical, diagnostic, and emergency care.
Erwin’s Journey Bringing Care
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.
East Sumba Malaria Prevention 2025
Fair Future and Kawan Baik Indonesia lead a three-month malaria prevention project in East Sumba. The initiative combines lab training, awareness campaigns, indoor spraying, and the distribution of insecticide-treated nets to protect thousands of vulnerable families.
Kawan Sehat Health Training
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.
Umalulu malaria baseline turns data into action
From March to July 2025, local cadres and Puskesmas staff conducted a door to door survey in Umalulu. Across 269 households and 460 interviews, the study mapped vector control, WASH, access and behaviours. The findings deliver a practical roadmap to reduce malaria in East Sumba.
Ibu Anggi receives her certificate
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.
SolarBuddy quality control for Sumba’s children
Over two focused days at Rumah Kambera, volunteers and Rotary members tested, repaired, labeled, and registered 2,224 SolarBuddy lamps so children and schools in East Sumba can study safely without toxic kerosene and darkness.
CHF 12000 for hospital in crisis
Fair Future delivers CHF 12000 in urgent medical equipment to East Sumba’s only hospital, where staff face shortages so severe patients die from treatable conditions. The supplies will help restore life-saving care.
Blood Donation in Rural Indonesia
In Indonesia’s remote villages, giving blood can be the only available emergency care. A single donation may save the life of a mother, child, or accident victim. In places without hospitals, your blood is their hope.
Malaria Prevention in Rural Areas
Kawan Against Malaria enables rural health agents to protect their communities. We deliver rapid tests, mosquito nets, and health education where malaria is endemic—ensuring early treatment and fewer infections.
