Dr Tim and his first patient at the clinic

“I am delighted to be working with the Order of Malta in Timor-Leste.

I was very attracted by the aims and principles of the Order to provide free, good quality primary healthcare to the people of Timor Leste, and was delighted to be offered the opportunity to join them.

What I have found since being here is great compassion, and great enthusiasm among the whole team to provide the best possible healthcare to the local population. The standard of care is very high, and I have been particularly impressed by kindness and consideration shown to every patient.

It is a lovely place to be working!”
