For two years following the devastating 2018 earthquakes in Lombok, we provided disaster relief healthcare from tents. Battling the elements was ongoing, as our teams and patients not only endured aftershocks, they also faced repeated destruction as monsoon season rain, mudslides and storms destroyed the tents where they lived and worked. When the floodwaters receded, our teams would dry up, clean up, repair and re-erect the tent clinic, and immediately resume patient care.
We had to enable our Lombok team to have a proper permanent clinic to support patient care. And we were finally about to do this. Construction was completed in September 2020, and our Lombok clinic is now open and operational.
Our deepest gratitude to Nurse Liman Wijaya, his wife Mimi and two daughters who weathered many hardships, including relocation from Aceh, in order to serve. Midwife and Executive Director Budi Astuti, her husband Bapak Tunjung, Bapak Sandiyasa and Bapak Pastika all worked tirelessly, from finding the ideal land in the area of greatest need, to overseeing the construction of the new clinic every step of the way. We are so grateful for our hardworking staff and for all our donors.
