<\/a>Inside the neonatal intensive care unit of RSUD Umbu Rara Meha in Waingapu<\/a>. Families and staff confront extreme shortages of equipment, while premature births remain very frequent due to malnutrition, early pregnancies, and lack of medical resources.<\/p><\/div>\n RSUD Umbu Rara Meha<\/a>, Sumba’s referral hospital,\u00a0serves nearly 800,000 people and<\/strong> faces severe resource shortages: only one<\/strong> ventilator is operational, with no CPAP<\/strong> or central oxygen available<\/strong><\/span>, and basic supplies are often missing. Mortality remains high<\/strong>, not due to access issues, but because once patients arrive, the hospital can offer<\/strong> little support.<\/p>\n After multiple visits to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and emergency wards, Fair Future<\/a> took action. Alongside the Vice-Regent of East Sumba,\u00a0Jonathan Hani<\/strong><\/span>, doctors, and nurses, we formed a working group to identify urgent needs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Over the course of six weeks, we worked closely with medical staff<\/strong>, outlined what was needed, our team negotiated with suppliers, arranged fragile shipments, and ensured that each item matched clinical demands.<\/p>\n On 19 September 2025,<\/strong> at 14:00, Fair Future will officially hand over the equipment at RSUD Waingapu’s Aula<\/a>. The donation exceeds 230 million rupiah, including over 40 types<\/strong> and around 175 items<\/strong> of medical equipment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n This donation is practical<\/strong>, immediate<\/strong>, and life-saving<\/strong>, not symbolic. Hospital staff selected each item, and Fair Future<\/a> acquired them to high standards. Every thermometer, scissors, and neonatal resuscitator fills a gap that previously cost lives.<\/p>\n Of course, this does not resolve everything<\/strong>; ventilators, CPAP machines, bilirubin detectors, and many other devices are still urgently needed<\/strong>. But with this first delivery<\/strong>, doctors and nurses at RSUD Waingapu will have real tools in their hands again. Tools to resuscitate, monitor, diagnose, and operate. Tools to save lives.<\/strong><\/p>\n This initiative, in collaboration with our Indonesian partner<\/a>, Kawan Baik Indonesia, with whom we’ve worked for over six years<\/strong>, showcases Swiss expertise<\/a> in healthcare systems and logistics solutions. Swiss medical expertise<\/a> and precise resource management ensure that the needs of healthcare facilities are met effectively.<\/p>\n On 19 September,<\/strong> when we gather with the hospital\u2019s staff and local authorities, we will celebrate not just a donation, but the start of a stronger, more dignified healthcare system in one of the most isolated<\/strong> corners of Indonesia.<\/p>\n Today, the 28th of August 2025 \u2013 Alex Wettstein<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”In Short \u2013 Essential Donation, Immense Impact” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”_initial” text_font=”Open Sans|500|||||||” text_line_height=”1.3em” background_color=”#F6F6F6″ custom_margin=”2vh||2vh||false|false” custom_padding=”15px|15px|15px|15px|true|true” link_option_url_new_window=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” background__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” background_color__hover=”#EFF7FF” background_enable_color__hover=”on” dsm_modules_popup_width_tablet=”65%” dsm_modules_popup_width_phone=”95%” dsm_modules_popup_width_last_edited=”on|desktop”]<\/p>\n The Fair Future Foundation and Kawan Baik Indonesia deliver vital medical equipment to RSUD Waingapu, the only hospital serving nearly 800,000 people.
