Behavioral Impacts on Spread of Malaria

Certain human behaviours, modern industrial practices and many economic factors have a real and significant impact on the spread and persistence of malaria in poor, remote and rural areas. And it is almost always those who are the poorest who suffer from it. The following are some key factors...

Water Connections - Tana Mbanas

We have conducted three comprehensive studies in Tana Mbanas and are now confident of our plan to tackle the issue of water scarcity in the central regency of Sumba. In June 2023, we will begin drilling a deep well and constructing sanitation facilities in the village as part of our immediate action plan.

Our ultimate objective is to ensure that thousands deprived of clean and safe water for far too long can finally access it. We are pleased to announce that this project has already been fully funded.

Urgent needs for medical equipment

Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs)

To accurately diagnose malaria, it is essential to conduct multiple tests using microscopes and reagents. It is crucial to obtain these materials promptly to detect and treat the numerous cases effectively.

Insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs)

A reliable way to protect oneself against mosquito-borne diseases is the use of mosquito nets, which act as a barrier between people and insects. Sadly, many households in this area still lack access to this essential tool.

Space insecticide spraying (IRS)

A practical method of managing mosquitoes that make their way into homes is to use residual insecticide spray on the interior walls. Currently, Indoor Residual Spraying is one of two core malaria interventions recommended by the WHO.

Antimalarial drugs & others

There is a pressing need for an increased supply of antimalarial medications and treatments for illnesses resulting from contaminated water, malnutrition, and parasitic and infectious diseases that are prevalent in our area.

Malaria Prevention Initiative Sumba Timur 2023

The malaria control program in East Sumba is a collaborative effort involving various components such as prevention, diagnosis, treatment, capacity building, monitoring, and community engagement. Our goal is to promptly implement the program in the most affected regions of East Sumba to minimize the incidence and effects of malaria in the designated intervention zones.

Primary Medical Care Progress Report

The Primary Medical Care (PMC) program has been a game-changer for many rural communities in East Sumba. Since its launch in December 2022, the programme’s workers – all strong women from ultra-rural areas – have treated more than a thousand people.

Remarkably, these Kawan Sehat agents are not medical professionals, yet they have saved countless lives. This testifies to the effectiveness of the program and the dedication of these heroes in these regions with no other medical resources than those offered by this program.
