BOVEN DIGOEL – Medical care is hardly accessible in Obinangge Village, part of Jair District in Boven Digoel Regency. Health centers are far, forcing locals to delay screening even if symptoms arise.
Through its mobile clinic initiative, TSE Group attempts to bridge this gap between health providers and patients. The company offered free check-ups and treatment for all ages, in addition to oral health education for the children.
A toothbrushing demonstration took place Saturday (5/30/2026), setting in motion the series of activities aimed at serving health needs. This segment had PT TSE’s clinic team teach proper brushing techniques and recommended brushing time to younger residents, who gleefully practiced on their own following the speakers’ instructions.
Next was the check-up, which screened for blood pressure, body temperature, and disease history. dr. Selin Haryanto, who was in charge, noted that several cases were lifestyle- or geographically-based.
“Some of the most common complaints include muscle pain or myalgia, upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) like from indoor smoke, and gastritis.”

Patients were advised to maintain proper air circulation at home, adopt a balanced diet, and adapt to clean, healthy habits.
Florentina was among the people served that day. She thanked the initiative, “This kind of health service is rare here. Usually, we have to walk very far to [access healthcare] at the puskesmas (state-run public health clinic). Thank you, Tunas Sawa Erma, for meeting us directly in our neighborhood.”
The company hopes to raise awareness of healthy lifestyle choices, said TSE Group’s manager Kiin Kim. “We want to encourage the Obinangge residents to take action for their health and keep daily health and hygiene habits.”
Through the ESG-driven Corporate Social Contribution programs, TSE Group continues to deliver tangible benefits to society. For the Obinangges, this mobile service means more than examinations and medication; it’s a chance for rural communities to receive better healthcare access. (PR)
