Primary medical care Mbinudita, and the next generation of Kawan Sehat
A small ceremony where medical backpacks change hands, not duties
In MbinuDita, Primary Medical Care thrives through the dedicated efforts of Kawan Sehat health agents. Collaborating with Fair Future and Kawan Baik Indonesia, 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.
The agents’ 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.
By 2026, the program 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 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.
For 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.
