OUR MISSION

Our mission is to provide free medical care, health education, and medical supplies to individuals who have limited or no access to healthcare services.

Changing Lives and Empowering Individuals

Despite economic progress in both Indonesia and the Philippines in the last few decades, access to quality health care and steep health costs, particularly for the poorest and most vulnerable people, remain a challenge.

Maternal and Child Health Care

Maternal and child health support is crucial for breaking the cycle of poverty, promoting gender equality, and ensuring that future generations are healthy and able to thrive. It encompasses a broad range of services and initiatives aimed at reducing maternal and infant mortality, promoting healthy pregnancies, and ensuring that both mothers and children have access to necessary healthcare and resources.

Key areas of maternal and child health support include:

  1. Prenatal Care: Ensuring that pregnant women have access to regular checkups, screenings, and guidance throughout their pregnancy to monitor the health of both mother and baby. This may include ultrasounds, blood tests, nutritional advice, and vaccinations.

  2. Safe Childbirth Services: Providing skilled birth attendants, clean and safe facilities, and emergency obstetric care to ensure safe deliveries and reduce complications for both mothers and newborns.

  3. Postpartum Care: Offering care and support to mothers after childbirth to monitor recovery, address mental health, and provide breastfeeding assistance. It also includes family planning and reproductive health services.

  4. Child Immunization: Ensuring that infants and young children receive the necessary vaccinations to prevent common and potentially life-threatening diseases like polio, measles, and diphtheria.

  5. Nutrition and Breastfeeding Support: Promoting breastfeeding and providing nutritional support for mothers and infants. Proper nutrition in the early stages of life is critical for physical and cognitive development.

  6. Maternal Mental Health: Addressing mental health issues such as postpartum depression and anxiety, which can affect new mothers. Support may include counseling, therapy, and access to mental health services.

  7. Infant and Child Healthcare: Providing regular pediatric care, including growth monitoring, screenings, and treatment for common childhood illnesses such as diarrhea, pneumonia, and malnutrition.

  8. Education and Awareness: Raising awareness about maternal and child health practices, including hygiene, nutrition, family planning, and the importance of regular medical visits. Education can be delivered through community outreach, health campaigns, or partnerships with local organizations.

  9. Access to Resources: Ensuring that mothers and children in underserved areas have access to essential healthcare services, medications, and treatments, often through mobile health clinics or outreach programs.

  10. Policy Advocacy and Health Systems Strengthening: Advocating for policies that support maternal and child health and working to strengthen healthcare systems, including training healthcare providers and improving infrastructure in rural or low-income areas.

Dental and Optical Care

ITA Data from 2022 indicates that 87.4% of Filipinos suffer from tooth decay or dental cavities. In Indonesia, data suggests similar incidences at 88% of the population with dental caries and/or oral problems. Dental problems can affect overall health - with links to endocarditis, cardiovascular disease, pregnancy and birth complications, and pneumonia. Through free dental check-ups, examinations, extractions, and education, we can do our part in promoting community health.

For Optical Care, we aim to provide comprehensive eye health programs, vision screening, provision of glasses, and education in eye health and sanitation.

Health Screening and Health Education

A health screening is an essential part of preventive healthcare and plays a vital role in maintaining overall well-being. Early detection of certain medical conditions helps to manage them more easily and affordably.

Health screenings can identify symptoms or warning signs of potential illnesses before they become serious and can help to ensure that individuals receive the necessary medical treatment in a timely manner.

We place emphasis on screening for chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease, as well as immunizations against serious illnesses like the flu.

Health Education

Preventative healthcare also involves education that can help individuals make positive lifestyle choices that protect their overall health and well-being. Proper health education is important for adults, adolescents, and children alike, especially in poorer areas where smoking, substance use, and unhealthy eating habits are more predominant. Health education can influence multiple health outcomes, including reducing risk behaviors related to sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, and unintended pregnancy, decreasing substance and tobacco use.

Medical Equipment and Supplies

According to the UNDP, logistics is a big challenge in providing health care services in Indonesia. They have identified that the production, procurement, and delivery of medicine and medical devices is a struggle within the country given its dispersed archipelago. The same goes for the Philippines, where there is a critical need for dependable medical equipment and supplies in the country.
