I especially love that we are fighting preventable diseases, as well as building on the capacity of medical professional by providing training, technology, materials and mentorship in order to advance a quality healthcare in Timor-Leste.
As a Timorese youth, I wanted to contribute to the development of our country such as helping people who live in the remote areas that have difficulties to access to Health services.
I am working with Maluk Timor to help strengthen health services to help prevent and mitigate infections and other diseases so that everyone can have a healthy life.
I work with oral health, nutrition and operations at MT. The words that I would like to use to describe the work I do are brave, intense, significant, exciting and ridiculous.
I hope one day, all Timorese citizens will have access to an excellent quality of health service in which we are handled appropriately and with dignity.
I am happy to be working as an educator in Timor-Leste for supporting health professional trainings in all Healthcare Centres in Dili and other municipalities.
Do you know there only seven government dentists in all of Timor-Leste! I’m sad that Oral Health is not a priority in my country – I hope that one day soon this recognition will come.
What excites me about working for a better healthcare system is seeing community based healthcare workers keep going even though they have limited equipment to do their work.
I believe that in order to contribute to the development of our country, it is especially important to have a strong understanding and skills in Information and Communication and Technology.
