Kawan Sehat Trains 20 Health Workers for Remote Care

The three-day training session for Kawan Sehat’s Twenty new health workers concluded yesterday with the presentation of official certificates. These were signed by representatives from Fair Future, Kawan Baik, medical teams and the local Indonesian government.

The comprehensive training program covers more than 15 essential medical modules, ranging from Primary Medical Care to wound management, child care, newborn care, early intervention in case of illness, and treatment and prevention of infectious diseases.

The Kawan Sehat application, specially developed by our teams for this program, also covers about ten topics related to interpersonal communication, such as medication management, pharmacology, blood pressure monitoring, etc.

Thanks to this expertise, these Kawan Sehat Health Agents will be able to serve thousands of people in remote communities, thus significantly improving health outcomes and residents’ quality of life.

Simply Magic and well-deserved. Congratulations to all of you, Kawan.
