Vision
ALERTAsia Foundation serves as a focal point for research,
education and training supported by various public and private donors
seeking to contribute to the rational and systematic building of the technical,
social and political capital needed to cope with emerging infections and
the risks these pose to health and to social and economic development
in Indonesia and Southeast Asia in general.
Mission
Diminish the medical, social and economic risks created by the emergence of
infectious diseases in Southeast Asia in general.
Why We are Here
ALERTAsia Foundation recognizes conspicuous gaps in the technical capacity of public and private health institutions in Southeast Asia to reliably characterize and responsibly report diagnoses of human infections. ALERTAsia Foundation further recognizes the unnecessary medical, social and economic risks such gaps create. ALERTAsia Foundation believes that the application of appropriate and standardized biotechnologies in the laboratories, field and clinics of regions at risk will provide an essential shield against epidemic and pandemic infections. We believe that biotechnology is a powerful weapon, and it must be wielded against our formidable microbial enemies with wisdom and forethought.
Where We Work
Our work in Indonesia began with malaria study in Papua back in 2006. Since then, we have worked in various areas across the archipelago.
