Before shaking the world, the floating hospital program for remote areas was initiated by Dr. Lie Dharmawan as the founder of doctorSHARE.

“I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the Zayed Sustainability Prize for recognizing our organization’s work and for giving us this prestigious award,” said Tutuk Utomo Nuradhy – Managing Director of doctorSHARE as the organization’s representative on the night of the prestigious award.

At the same time, Dr. Lie Dharmawan as the founder of doctorSHARE expressed his deep gratitude and invited all parties to be more enthusiastic, collaborate more massively to bring better access to health services for peripheral communities, not only in Indonesia, but also internationally.
