Free Family Care Medical Clinic

Hello once again from Sumatra, northern Indonesia!

During my stay here, I visited the medical clinic that Family Care Foundation built last year, courtesy of a grant from a major oil company.

The facility is the only medical clinic in all of Aceh province offering free medical checkups, care, deliveries, medicines, ambulance service, and nutritional and hygiene education. Besides the services offered, this is the only medical facility outside of the main city that is available 24/7.

The clinic is staffed around-the-clock by a doctor and nurses, as well as a visiting dentist, and understandably is hugely popular in the region. Besides meeting many of the locals, I checked the documentation and we are also asked the staff to submit a proposal for next year’s program expansion.
