From 2011 onwards some of our supported scholarship students trained as health professionals. These students have returned to the island to work in various Health clinics around Atauro both in voluntary and paid positions.

Over a significant period of time the cyclists of Beechworth and Rutherglen have donated considerable funds to the Friendship group. These  funds have been used to purchase both general equipment for medical clinics on Atauro and specialised equipment used by midwifes.

In 2020 Indigo/Atauro with the assistance of Rotary was able to transport a large number of Mobility aids to the clinics of Atauro. These aids were donated by organisations in Corowa and Rutherglen,

 In the early 2000s IAFC supported HIAM Health in its efforts to reduce malnutrition on the island especially in the infant population. Initiatives included monitoring infants, educating families and community health staff and provision of emergency food supplies.
