Rabiah "Floating Sister"

Figures which we will discuss this time is Ms. Rabiah or known as the floating nun. She was a nurse stationed in the islands in the Flores Sea, South Sulawesi. For almost 26 years he served the community in these islands.
Why is she called a "float nurse"? This is because almost every day for hours, the woman spends half her age to serve society in these islands using traditional boats. Not infrequently he should hit the big waves for the sake of saving human lives from one island to another.


Limited access and lack of nurse clinicians make Rabiah a mainstay and more people on the island - the island. Initially he willingly served in the islands, as disconcerting to see his brothers who had never get health care.
The floating nun had been invited on the show Talk Show "Kick Andy". In the event he told a variety of experiences. Because there are no doctors and midwives, if there are mothers who give birth she must be prepared to act as midwife. "And I honestly have never learned about midwifery." Said she was innocent. On another occasion because of the limitations of the drugs he must choose a very difficult decision. Because the patient must be infused intravenously while the remaining liquid has expired. She was indecisive, "If I did not give the infusion, the patient would likely die. Meanwhile, if I give infusion, infusion was expired because the long stored in the warehouse. " said Rabiah.
The story of the nun floating Rabiah mother seemed to open our eyes that there are still many remote areas in Indonesia that is untouched by development. From the story revealed how people in these islands live in the pathetic health.
Even more ironically, Ms. Rabiah despite decades of devoted, yet he was also appointed as a Civil Servant (PNS).
But it happened a few years ago, hopefully better conditions now and lots of parties who are willing to reach out and provide assistance. Amien.
