Kawan Sehat MbinuDita health story.<\/strong><\/h4>\nIn MbinuDita<\/a>, primary medical care starts at the community level\u2014not with a doctor, but with Agustina Pekawoli<\/strong> and Ferias Bangu Kahi<\/strong>. For over three years,<\/strong> these women have been the foundation of health in their community, responding to nighttime fevers, tending to wounds, and diagnosing illnesses like malaria. With their medical backpacks<\/a> filled with essential medical supplies, they make critical<\/strong> decisions about when to escalate care to the Puskesmas, a local healthcare centre, or a hospital.<\/p>\nOur latest evaluation with Fair Future<\/a> and Kawan Baik Indonesia<\/a> revealed the impact of their efforts. The backpacks<\/a> were emptied, and the records carefully reviewed. This grassroots clinical audit took place on the floor of a wooden house, with curious children<\/strong> at the door and chickens crossing the room\u2014in stark contrast to the sterile environments we usually imagine<\/strong> for such activities. Each diagnosis<\/strong>, treatment<\/strong>, and referral tells a story of community-focused healthcare.<\/p>\nAlthough Agustina<\/strong> and Ferias<\/strong> have chosen to pass the baton due to evolving personal responsibilities, their legacy endures<\/strong>. They were honoured with certificates recognising their dedication and the trust of many families. Importantly, new Kawan Sehat agents<\/a> are stepping in to increase the number<\/strong> of active health workers in nearby villages from 20 to 30.<\/strong> These agents will benefit from enhanced supervision, expanded training, and better data collection\u2014improving the quality and reach of primary medical care<\/strong> in MbinuDita<\/strong> and the surrounding areas.<\/p>\nFair Future<\/a> and Kawan Baik Indonesia<\/a> extend their gratitude to Agustina<\/strong> and Ferias<\/strong>, whose commitment has laid a strong foundation for others to build upon. With these ongoing efforts, primary medical care will become even stronger<\/strong>, safer<\/strong>, and more deeply<\/strong> embedded in the daily lives of these remote communities.<\/p>\nToday, the 19th of November 2025 \u2013 Alex Wettstein<\/a><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”In Short – From two health workers to thirty trained agents” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _dynamic_attributes=”link_option_url” _module_preset=”a81006d2-e285-4e85-bdf8-315a64ce7334″ text_font=”Open Sans|500|||||||” text_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”2vh||2vh||false|false” custom_padding=”15px|15px|15px|15px|true|true” link_option_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjI1MTE2NzQ4In19@” 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

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Primary medical care Mbinudita, and the next generation of Kawan Sehat<\/h2>\nA small ceremony where medical backpacks change hands, not duties<\/h3>\n
In MbinuDita<\/a>, Primary Medical Care thrives through the dedicated efforts of Kawan Sehat<\/a> health agents. Collaborating with Fair Future<\/a> and Kawan Baik Indonesia<\/a>, they have tirelessly responded to night-time calls, navigated challenging terrains, and provided medical care where doctors are scarce. After three years, we are witnessing a pivotal transition as two pioneering agents return their medical backpacks, manuals, posters, and registers, enabling new volunteers to extend care to neighboring villages.<\/p>\nThe agents<\/a>\u2019 records were meticulously reviewed to confirm diagnoses, recommended treatments, and necessary referrals, while discussion on recognizing red flag symptoms ensured preparedness for when transportation to the Puskesmas or hospital is essential. Each agent received a certificate acknowledging their participation in three intensive training sessions, emphasizing practical rural medicine and celebrating their discipline, empathy, and resilience.<\/p>\nBy 2026, the program<\/a> aims to expand to thirty Kawan Sehat under closer supervision. Regular refresher courses and a dedicated app will ensure transparency and quality treatment, with real-time data reporting from Rumah Kambera and support from our Swiss team. This initiative makes the primary medical care in Mbinudita<\/a> quantifiable and safe for the families it serves. Educational materials will journey to other villages, while the wisdom acquired remains within the community, guiding new volunteers.<\/p>\nFor Fair Future and Kawan Baik Indonesia, this milestone ceremony symbolizes not an end, but rather a testament to the enduring ability of community-based care to evolve and flourish long after the foundational team has passed the torch.<\/p>\n
