Our Journey
The First Clinic
The journey began with the opening of the Clinic in Blora Menteng, Central Jakarta, targeting upper and upper-middle-class communities. The clinic later moved to its location in Johar Menteng, Central Jakarta.
The clinic offered comprehensive healthcare services, including HIV care, infectious disease management, sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment, and mental health services. These services strictly adhere to Indonesia’s Ministry of Health (MoH) guidelines, initiated by Angsamerah’s founder, Dr. Nurlan Silitonga, M.Med
Since the establishment of Angsamerah’s first clinic in 2010, Angsamerah has been a pioneer in providing high-quality, stigma-free sexual health services in Indonesia. To date, over 1300 people living with HIV have accessed a routine continuum of HIV care and subsidised antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Angsamerah clinics.
Angsamerah has a goal to expand this clinic model in big cities in Indonesia, such as Surabaya, Bali, Batam, and Makasar, and we are opening partnership opportunities for both organizations and individuals to join us in our expansion plan.

Angsamerah Foundation (Yayasan Anak Bangsa Merajut Harapan)
In late 2013, Angsamerah expanded its reach by establishing the Yayasan Anak Bangsa Merajut Harapan (Angsamerah Foundation) and opening the second clinic in Fatmawati, South Jakarta. This clinic, which initially provided free healthcare services to socio-economically marginalised communities, to ensure the sustainability of the services, is owned by the Angsamerah Foundation, and funded by PT. Angsamerah, USAID programs (SUM II, Linkages, and EpiC), and the COFRA Foundation.
Since 2018, the Angsamerah Foundation has proven its ability to be sustainable and self-funded in delivering its missions and goals, as well as taking initiatives to develop new innovative programs.
Angsamerah implements social entrepreneurship strategies into its daily operation and benefits from ongoing support from local and international partners, including the Indonesian Ministry of Health (MoH), and the Indonesian National AIDS Commission (KPAN). This combination of social entrepreneurship and collaborative support is pivotal for the sustainable operation of Angsamerah’s social business clinic, enabling it to operate independently.

Angsamerah POS
In 2019, the Angsamerah Foundation launched Angsamerah POS, a Health Checkpoint offering rapid diagnostic services, including HIV testing. This successful program piqued the interest of donors, leading to partnerships with the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) since 2020 and the EpiC Program by USAID Indonesia in 2022.
These collaborations strengthened Angsamerah’s reach by providing a much-needed mobile clinic service, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Angsamerah POS adapted to the post-pandemic landscape by reshaping its program to reach segmented key populations, such as prisoners in need of HIV care.
By the end of June 2024, through this service, over 8000 marginalised people have accessed the HIV service for free, and 200 PLHIV routinely access ART through our health facilities.
Teleconsultation Services
While Angsamerah POS was developed and expanded during COVID-19, teleconsultation services for patients were also developed to reach clients during the pandemic when in-person visits were restricted. To date, the service is still operating, as an easy option for patients who live outside Jakarta and have a busy schedule.
Angsamerah’s experience with teleconsultation services began in 2017 with the Doctor2Doctor Program, a clinical teleconsultation service for clinicians. General practitioners were the primary beneficiaries of this service. Funded by a USAID program, this initiative served as a clinical mentoring hotline, primarily focusing on HIV treatment and care, other infectious diseases, and information about national and regional public health programs.
SAHABAT – Buddy Support Group
Initiated jointly by Angsamerah in partnership with individuals George Alain and Alfons Adrian, and supported by initial funding from PT and Yayasan Angsamerah. The SAHABAT Program is designed to provide support and a safe space for clients to discuss with peer counsellors before continuing their consultation with a psychologist or psychiatrist. Running since 2022, the program offers both online and offline meetings.
In 2024, the program expanded to provide a safe space at Angsamerah Clinic Menteng for anonymous group meetings with people living with HIV (PLHIV), survivors, and patient companions. Through monthly meetings, participants can share experiences, gain knowledge, and improve their quality of life.
Guided by experts such as counsellors, life coaches, and psychologists, each session is designed to meet the emotional and psychological needs of participants while encouraging self-acceptance and adherence to treatment.
With relevant themes such as self-esteem, relationships, and mental health, the SAHABAT Program aims to build a supportive and inclusive community. These meetings create an empathetic environment where every individual feels heard and valued.
As part of Yayasan Angsamerah’s commitment to improving community well-being, the SAHABAT Program continues to strive for a positive impact and empower participants on their life journeys.
