Welcome!

First, assist with the extremely improbable yet successful independence struggle. Many of you also played a part. Then declare war on the horrendous pattern of disease and suffering in this, the world's newest nation. Observing that health indicators here are the most disastrous in Southeast Asia, makes the challenge monumental.
By opening the door to the flood of needy patients with always a welcoming hand we have become a landmark for quality health care in East Timor. With your help we can not only maintain but go to the next level. I envision village level empowerment and participation in education and prevention, ongoing development for providers, and evermore sophisticated and comprehensive curative medicine available for all. May the dream come true.
