NHM and Bio Farma Collaborate to Provide Smallpox Vaccinationat Al-Qohhar Sawangan Foundation


PT Nusa Halmahera Minerals (NHM) Jakarta headquarters organized a vaccination program for orphans at the Al-Qohhar Sawangan Foundation in Depok. The event, which took place on December 6, 2024, was a collaboration between the Jakarta Office Health Team and PT Bio Farma. A total of 88 participants, all orphans under the care of Al-Qohhar, took part in the vaccination. Prior to the vaccination, all participants were required to ensure they were healthy and ready to receive the vaccine.

Stevani Evi, the Health Coordinator for NHM’s Jakarta Office, explained that this activity is part of the routine health vaccination program, which is also carried out for employees and their families. “We regularly conduct vaccination programs for our employees and their families at the office, and with some surplus vaccines, we proposed distributing them to the Al-Qohhar Sawangan Foundation, which was approved by NHM’s President Director, Mr. Haji Robert Nitiyudo Wachjo,” said Evi.



Evi added that the vaccination provided this time was for smallpox. “We received information from the management that there is an outbreak of smallpox in the Al-Qohhar Sawangan Foundation area, so we are providing smallpox vaccines as an effort to prevent the outbreak.”

In addition to vaccinations, the NHM Jakarta Office Health Team also regularly provides health-related programs. “A few months ago, we held a Health Talk seminar in collaboration with Mitra Keluarga Hospital, and we also organized blood donations as part of our humanitarian efforts. We aim to continue these programs successfully into 2025,” she concluded.
