Background
This programme started as an outreach project to provide medical aid to communities in islands off the coast of Sabah. It was launched by MERCY Malaysia in a first joint effort with the Royal Malaysian Navy in year 2004.
The outreach clinic targeted 1,000 beneficiaries each visit and focused on the islanders who do not have access to medical attention.
The project introduces the island communities to a standard of living typical for town dwellers and healthcare can be received on a regular basis.
