Mentawai Medical Assistance Program
Due to its remote location, obtaining medical treatment and supplies is a challenge to say the least. Most of the day to day medical treatment the first world takes for granted is a challenge and the Kandui Foundation has taken steps to minimize this moving forward. The goal of the Medical Financial Assistance program is any Mentawai person seeking treatment can seek treatment at no cost. Each year, countless Mentawai people get very sick or die due to not seeking treatment due to the financial constraints from Medical Treatment. To ensure their motivation is to always seek treatment when feeling sick, The Kandui Foundation currently places its efforts within 2 directives.
