Galela is an area with a dark history due to the conflict that occurred in 1999-2000. This is why MER-C has chosen Galela to operate its Social clinic program. This program received highly positive respond from the locals, in which a local resident donated his land in the village of Towara, in the hope that MER-C would be able to facilitate the construction of a hospital in this area.

 

In responding the needs and demand from the people of the area, at this moment MER-C Construction Division, helped by the locals are building Galela Hospital. The construction began in January 2011. The funding of the construction was collected form the donation of the people, as well as donations in the form of building materials by the locals.

 

Once standing, this Galela Hospital would be the first hospital in Indonesia that was built out of public donation.

under the name of Medical Emergency Rescue Committee

 

MER-C (Medical Emergency Rescue Committee) is a humanitarian organisation that focuses in the field of medical emergency, carrying the characters of mandatory, professionalism, neutrality, independence, voluntarily and high mobility.

 

MER-C aims to deliver medical assistances to the victims of wars, conflicts riots, extraordinary events, and natural disasters both in Indonesia and abroad. This organisation was established by a group of medicine students of the University of Indonesia, who initiated to perform medical treatment to help the victims of conflict in Maluku, east Indonesia on August 1999. Members of MER-C are unpaid volunteers. 

 

MER-C's foundation is Islam and it holds the principal of rahmatan lil alamin (being mercy to the universe). Withthis principal, MER-C aims to deliver mercy, in this case assistances to all mankind, both in person or in group disregard of their background, religion, sect, movement, nationality, ethnicity, class, politics, criminal/not, rebels/not, but regards to deliver its assistance on the base of urgency, which is to help the most vulnerable and the most neglected people.

 

Based on this foundation, MER-C has launched its missions, among others, to Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Palestine, South Lebanon, Kashmir, Sudan, South Philippines, South Thailand. MER-C has also been actively involved in guarding the health of people who were put in prison due to the accusation of terrorism like Syaikh Abu Bakar Baasyir, Syaikh Abu Jibril, the late commander of GAM Ishak Daud and his late wife, the late Imam Samudra, the late Amrozi, the late Ali Gufron,as well as the Police Commanding General Susno Duaji

The fire of conflict has burned a large part of the eastern area of Indonesia at the beginning of 1999. The cries of the people of Maluku were heard to the entire country, tickling the conscience of the people of Indonesia to help ease their pain.

In April 1999, students of the University of Indonesia within the Medicine Student of the University of Indonesia Team (TMM-UI), went to Ambon. The team, which consisted of a number of doctors and medicine students had conducted varied humanitarian acts, such as medical services to the refugees and making use of a hospital that has stopped operating since the conflict started to treat patients there.

In highlighting the management of conflict victims and refugees during the tragedy of Ambon,TMM-UI believed that there has not been enough neutrality and support to medical personnel in the conflict. Professionalism that should be found in every medical personnel like neutrality was hard to find. The distribution of aid whether in the form of logistics or medical services given to both parties fighting was not fair and well-spread. There were people who received sufficient logistical and medical aids, but there were people who did not receive them. This condition was worsen by the lack of mobility of medical personnel. All the factors above implicated to the far from optimum medical treatment. 

Based on the idea that the treatment of conflict victims and refugees was insufficient, especially in the form of medical services, it was believed that there needs to be an organisation that acts in the area of medical emergency and carries the characters of mandatory, professional, neutral, independent, voluntarily and high mobility. 

Learning from the lesson in Ambon, on 14 August 1999, an organisation called Medical emergency Rescue Committee, MER-C, was born.

Up until now, MER-C has sent over 124 humanitarian mission in Indonesia as well as abroad including 2 missions to Afghanistan, 1 mission to Iraq, 1 mission to Iran (under the Department of Health of Indonesia), 1 mission to Thailand, 2 missions to Kashmir-Pakistan, 1 mission to South Lebanon, 1 mission to Sudan, 1 mission to Somalia, 2 missions to Palestine during the Israeli aggression in Gaza, and 5 missions to Palestine to construct Indonesia Hospital in Gaza.

MER-C, which at first was based solely in Jakarta, has now own branches in a number of areas in Indonesia such as  Semarang,Jogja, Solo, Medan, Padang and Mataram, as well as a branch in Germany and another branch in Gaza. It is our highest wish that the establishment of MER-C branches could better help those who need it most.
