Community Centers
We helped develop a model community center in Java, Indonesia, near Mount Merapi, which has a regular history of eruptions, causing substantial damage to those living in the area. The center was designed to empower local communities, provide social support to the victims, and develop social, economic and health services. Above all, the goal was to better prepare the communities in case of recurring natural disasters.
Homecare for the Elderly
We worked with partners in Indonesia to offer nursing homecare for the elderly who are terminally ill, chronically unwell, resident in geriatric homes and isolated in their own homes. Tag brought in experts from Matav, Israel’s largest homecare for the elderly organization, to retrain retired nurses, social workers and volunteers, and to develop effective management systems.
Women’s Health Center
In collaboration with local partners, we helped to develop an integrated hospital and community women’s healthcare service to bolster the professional competencies of hospital physicians and community health workers. Professionals from Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital shared its integrated hospital-community model of addressing women’s health that enables a holistic platform for treatment and prevention.
Reducing Maternal and Infant Mortality
Tag co-hosted a 3-day seminar of women’s health as part of the collaborative project with our local partner organization YAKKUM aimed at reducing Infant and maternal rural mortality rates. We then launched a grass-roots maternal and infant mortality reduction project operated across remote and vulnerable rural villages in Central Java. Vital training was provided for local healthcare workers and traditional birth attendants, providing them with valuable lifesaving skills. A large health mobile visited the villages to raise awareness, disseminate knowledge and provide health education. Professionals in the van also provided vital women’s healthcare services, from assessment to treatment.
