Building on the significant experiences gathered from operating the other two floating hospitals, doctorSHARE aims for a bigger facility, equipped with more medical facilities to allow for greater scope of medical interventions which will enable us to carry out a broader sustainable program. Together with PT MASA, doctorSHARE built RSA Nusa Waluya II (RSA 3) from a renovated and refitted accommodation barge previously used in the oil and gas industry. She is designed with greater sustainability in mind and will provide two main services: primary and specialized medical services similar to a Type C landed-hospital, as well as empowerment programs for local healthcare providers and local people through a community-based approach. RSA 3 is intentionally designed as a barge to birth closer to island-based regions, self sustaining and highly accessible to surrounding residents living around the island clusters. She will not replace existing facilities, but will work side-by-side with the Indonesian government to ensure easier access to specialized care and to strengthen the existing primary care system provided by the government (in the form of Puskesmas/ midwifery centers).

In light of the catastrophic aftermath of Central Sulawesi earthquake and tsunami on 28th September 2018, RSA 3 was mobilized to help Palu with post-disaster rehabilitation through the provision of curative medical intervention, health campaigns to prevent the spread of diseases as well as trauma healing support. Subsequently after Palu (Q2 2019), RSA 3 will provide support to the 110,425 people residing in the 57 islands of Southeast Maluku Regency (Kabupaten MTB). She will be positioned in the northern part of Tanimbar Island, one of Maluku’s poorest regencies with high infant and maternal mortality rates. She will be the designated secondary-level health care facility, treating patients in need of more specialised medical attention who are referred to the floating hospital by the local Puskesmas.
