Public health guidance, Indonesian data and humanitarian standards we use to check decisions made in the field.
Sources we use in the field
Evidence, standards and organisations that help us make better decisions
Sources are tools, not endorsements.
We use official data, clinical guidance and humanitarian standards to check decisions made in remote East Indonesia. Inclusion here does not mean partnership, funding or mutual endorsement. It means the source is useful, credible and relevant to the work.
Local first. Indonesian and regional data before global averages. Clinical when available. Current guidance before habit or assumption. Field checked. Recommendations are compared with what is actually possible in the villages.

EVIDENCE FROM OUR OWN FIELDWORK
External guidance is only half of the picture.
Recommendations written far from Sumba still have to meet the reality of a village without a road, laboratory, clean water or permanent medical staff. We therefore document what we observe locally and make the results available for scrutiny.
Our field studies do not replace national surveillance, peer-reviewed research or clinical guidelines. They add local context where official data can be sparse.
