In rural eastern Indonesia, families lack access to primary medical care. When a medical emergency occurs, everything becomes very complicated, and the risks are immense.
Getting any medical treatment is a real challenge for an injured or sick person when you live far from everything, have no money, no means of transport and no road leading to the village. We have been working on this program for years now with Fair Future.
What this gallery is about, Kawan?: Program for access to primary medical care for children. Learn to treat an injury before it is fatal. A program for each school/village in the most rural areas of Sumba. The inhabitants of rural villages do not have access to primary care, and most medical centres are often several hours away on foot. The harshness of life here means we often get hurt, but nothing is available to treat ourselves—no doctor, knowledge, medical equipment and, of course, no antiseptic or medicine. These injuries can lead to the death of a child or an adult if they get worse. We must therefore act quickly. Fair Future, for years, has empowered schools and families in ultra-rural communities to take action in the event of an accident. Today, we are taking another step in this program. – Thank you for your interest.
