To bring these services closer to the community, Agincourt Resources collaborated with the Tapanuli Selatan Regency Health Office and Sitinjak Community Health Centre (Puskesmas) to organise Dokter Spesialis Masuk Desa in Siuhom Village, Angkola Barat, on 16 September 2026. The programme provided access to paediatric, internal medicine, and obstetrics and gynaecology specialists for residents of Paten, Tangga Batu, Aek Martolu, and Tapalan.

The event was attended by Head of the Tapanuli Selatan Regency Health Office dr. Sri Khairunnisa, MH, MKM, Head of Angkola Barat Subdistrict Muhammad Tohir Pasaribu, Manager Community Development Agincourt Resources Rohani Simbolon, and Superintendent Exploration I Putu Suputra Utama.

Manager Community Development Agincourt Resources Rohani Simbolon said the activity formed part of the collaboration between Agincourt Resources, the Tapanuli Selatan Regency Health Office, and the local Community Health Centre. The activity in Siuhom marked the third implementation of Dokter Spesialis Masuk Desa in 2026. A total of 132 residents accessed healthcare services during the activity.

Total 98 patients were examined by an internal medicine specialist, 25 by a paediatrician, and nine by an obstetrician and gynaecologist. Patients’ health records were also documented at the Community Health Centre to support any necessary follow-up care.

Head of the Tapanuli Selatan Regency Health Office dr. Sri Khairunnisa, MH, MKM expressed hope that Dokter Spesialis Masuk Desa would continue and reach more communities across Tapanuli Selatan Regency.

One of the residents who experienced the benefits of having specialist doctors available directly in the village was Esti Mariati Situmorang, a resident of Tangga Batu. She brought her two children for health examinations and took the opportunity to seek medical advice for stomach problems she had experienced over the previous few days.

For Esti, initiatives such as Dokter Spesialis Masuk Desa help residents access medical examinations without having to travel long distances. She hopes that access to healthcare facilities and services in her area will continue to improve, making it easier for her family and the wider community to receive medical care when needed.

Obstetrician and Gynaecologist dr. Ryan Andrian, M.Ked(OG), Sp.OG. welcomed the proactive approach taken through Dokter Spesialis Masuk Desa. According to him, bringing specialist services directly into the community not only improves access to specialist doctors, but also provides an opportunity to increase public awareness of the importance of maintaining good health and seeking appropriate medical examinations when needed.

Bringing specialist doctors directly to villages demonstrates that improving community health depends not only on the availability of healthcare facilities, but also on ensuring that services are accessible to the people who need them. Through collaboration with local government and healthcare facilities, Agincourt Resources continues to support efforts to bring healthcare services closer to communities.

As part of its commitment to supporting improved public health in communities surrounding its operational area, Agincourt Resources, in collaboration with the South Tapanuli Health Office, organised a Free Health Check and Medical Treatment Social Programme through the Dokter Spesialis Masuk Desa initiative, which was held on 26th June 2026 at Muara Opu Auxiliary Health Centre, Muara Batang Toru.

The programme provided free medical consultation and treatment services delivered by three specialist doctors, including a Paediatric Specialist, an Obstetrics and Gynaecology Specialist, and an Internal Medicine Specialist. The initiative was specifically designed to support communities in need of quality healthcare services without requiring them to travel long distances to healthcare facilities in urban areas. A total of 111 community members benefited from the programme, consisting of 37 paediatric patients, 11 obstetrics and gynaecology patients, and 63 internal medicine patients.

In addition to direct consultations and medical examinations by specialist doctors, community members also received various supporting healthcare services, including ultrasound examinations for pregnant women, ECG examinations, blood sugar checks, cholesterol screening, uric acid testing, as well as supplementary nutrition packages as part of efforts to support overall community health.

Deputy Regent of South Tapanuli, H. Jafar Syahbuddin Ritonga, expressed his appreciation for the collaboration that has helped bring healthcare services directly to communities with limited access to medical facilities.

“We highly appreciate Agincourt Resources for continuously demonstrating genuine care towards improving the quality of healthcare services for communities, particularly in remote areas such as Muara Opu Village. Collaboration between the Company and local government like this proves that strong partnerships can deliver direct benefits that are truly needed by the community.”

Meanwhile, Community Relations Manager of Agincourt Resources, Masdar Muda Hasibuan, emphasised that the programme reflects the Company’s commitment to ensuring its presence continues to create sustainable social impact for communities surrounding its operational area.

“For Agincourt Resources, the Company’s presence is not solely focused on operational activities, but also on how we can create meaningful contributions for surrounding communities. Through collaboration with the Health Office, we want to ensure that communities with limited access to healthcare services can still receive quality medical treatment that is easier to access.”

One of the programme beneficiaries, Merina Zebua, shared that the initiative provided significant support for residents, as they no longer needed to travel long distances to receive specialist medical treatment.

“We feel greatly helped by this free medical programme. Usually, we have to travel quite far to receive treatment from specialist doctors, but this time healthcare services were brought directly to our village. We truly hope programmes like this can continue because they provide tremendous benefits for our community.”

Through collaboration in the healthcare sector, Agincourt Resources continues to deliver Community Development and Empowerment Programmes that provide meaningful benefits while supporting improvements in the quality of life of communities surrounding its operational area. This initiative forms part of the Company’s commitment to growing together with communities through inclusive and sustainable social development.
