Converted cargo ships bringing mobile foot care and diabetes screening to remote coastal island communities. Minarets guide the way.
An elderly diabetic woman on a remote Indonesian island who hasn't seen a podiatrist in years watches a ship approach on the horizon—its deck transformed into a gleaming clinic. When she steps aboard, a specialist treats her ingrown toenail and screens for diabetes complications right there, with equipment powered by the ship's original oil generators. She cries, realizing she no longer needs to travel 8 hours by boat to the city for basic care.
