At the heart of our work is a commitment to collaboration and shared responsibility in advancing health outcomes for the people of Timor-Leste. The Ordem de Malta Clinic works closely with the Ministry of Health to support the implementation of key national health programs, including vaccination campaigns, nutrition screening, maternal care, and emergency response during major events.
We are also proud to partner with a diverse network of local and international organizations, whose expertise and support enhance our ability to reach vulnerable communities.

Together, we are building a healthcare system that is more inclusive, responsive, and resilient—one partnership at a time.
