Impact : 514 patients cured, 163 under treatment, 203.500 educated as (Oct 2005)

A program to overcome the number three killer in Indonesia: Tuberculosis. Every year 140.000 people died in Indonesia from millions of infected.

There clinics are set up to care for TB patients from lower income families I the slums. Free medical treatments are provided to cure and stop the disease from spreading.

Each patient enrolled is given a supervisor to make sure he/she take the medicine regularly every day for 6 to 8 months.

Without complete treatment, TB bacilli will be even stronger, immune toward the medicines, spread to 10-15 people annually and cause death.

We hope to impact the TB patients to be cured and to be back on their feet supporting their families’ economy.
