“Aside from providing personal moral support, Komunitas Taufan also helps patient’s families with additional expenses needed when caring for their children in the hospital, such as transportation costs, milk, diapers, etc. These are not covered by BPJS (government insurance scheme) and from my personal experience, often are needed most and must be made available.”

“New patients usually receive a lot of support from relatives and friends in the beginning. But after a month or two, the amount of support dwindles. That was also what I experienced… The parents must be strong so their child can also be strong.”
