The absence of proximity health care facilities exposes the local population to a very high risk.

A few years ago, Sunshine in Nosy Komba identified an urgent need for reproductive and maternal care in the village of Antintorona. At the time, women either gave birth at home or had to travel by boat for nearly an hour to reach the nearest clinic on Nosy Be, a journey that often led to severe complications and, in some cases, the tragic loss of mothers or newborns.

In response, the NGO established a maternity clinic, equipped with delivery rooms and staffed by local nurses and midwives. Today, these healthcare professionals manage the clinic independently and are dedicated to serving the entire community. Given the success of this initiative, a second maternity clinic was later opened elsewhere on the island to extend access to safe, reliable care.

Since 2016, Sunshine in Nosy Komba has supported the development of a health care centre in Antintorona. More than 2,000 medical consultations take place each year, and several babies are born at the facility.

In 2024, residents of the neighbouring village of Antamotamo requested our support to establish a medical centre. The new building is equipped with essential medical supplies and a system that provides clean, filtered water.

In 2026, Sunshine signed an agreement with the local authorities to expand the health care centre, which was reaching capacity as it offered more services. Construction is planned for 2027, subject to the necessary funding.
