How Erwin Strengthens Healthcare in Remote Villages Through Medical Support and Training
Ensuring Kawan Sehat Health Agents Have the Tools to Treat and Educate Locals
Working tirelessly behind the scenes, Erwin serves as the essential connection between Rumah Kambera—home base for the Primary Medical Care program—and Kawan Sehat Gesundheitsbeauftragte spread across over 20 remote areas in East Sumba.

His responsibilities go beyond logistics. During each visit, Erwin imparts valuable knowledge. Meetings are frequently held in schools, which serve as central gathering spots for both health agents and families. He addresses questions, clarifies treatments, and trains agents on the latest medicines and medical equipment. Whenever a challenge emerges, he devises a solution.

Additionally, he assists them in using the Kawan Sehat App—a digital tool that simplifies medical care tracking and supply Management.
