Yayasan Project HOPE is a non-profit organization established to support healthcare workers in providing high-quality health services to the Indonesian population.
We are affiliated with the global health organization Project HOPE, which has been actively delivering healthcare support in Indonesia since the 1960s.
We support and work closely with the government and other healthcare industry operators, namely professional health associations, private healthcare institutions, and private corporations. Together, we weave a network of stakeholders sharing the same interest to solve public health concerns, as well as provide humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
With the help of our supporters, we improve public health infrastructure by providing supplies and medical equipment. We conduct training to strengthen the skills of healthcare workers and independent private practices.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have reached out to healthcare workers, midwives, and nurses to train them to provide better mental health and psychosocial support services for new and expecting mothers. With targeted teachings and streamlined guidelines, we hope to improve the services provided by primary healthcare facilities.
In this rapidly advancing world, once we stop progressing, we regress. Yayasan Project HOPE reaches out to universities, research institutions, and other professional healthcare organizations to gain new knowledge through research and information sharing. By monitoring and analyzing ongoing projects, we gather data on successful approaches and innovations. Based on those, we aim to create replicable models that can be implemented on a larger scale.
We believe by empowering the primary healthcare workers who are, more often than not, the first point of contact with the populace, we can increase the number of health issues handled and elevate communities’ standard of living.
