Conclusion: Integrated Recommendations for Improving Timor-Leste's Healthcare System The analysis presented in this report underscores the significant progress Timor-Leste has made in developing its healthcare system since independence, while also highlighting the persistent challenges that need to be addressed to achieve universal health coverage and improve population health outcomes. Synthesizing the key findings and drawing upon the experiences of comparable nations and the recommendations of international organizations and NGOs, the following integrated recommendations are proposed:

1.Strengthening Healthcare Infrastructure: Prioritize sustained investments in upgrading and adequately equipping healthcare facilities across all levels, with a particular focus on rural and remote areas. Expand and modernize ambulance services and enhance the training of personnel to improve pre-hospital emergency care. Implement robust supply chain management systems to ensure the consistent availability of essential medicines and medical supplies, especially in underserved regions.

2.Addressing Major Health Issues: Implement comprehensive and targeted programs for the prevention, early diagnosis, and effective treatment of tuberculosis and other prevalent communicable diseases. Develop and execute a national strategy to combat the rising burden of non-communicable diseases through public health campaigns promoting healthy lifestyles, expanding screening programs at the primary healthcare level, and strengthening the capacity for long-term management of chronic conditions. Enhance maternal and child health services by focusing on increasing access to quality antenatal care, promoting skilled birth attendance in health facilities, improving postnatal care, and implementing evidence-based interventions to address the high rates of malnutrition and stunting among children.

3.Healthcare Workforce Development: Invest strategically in specialized training programs and continuous professional development opportunities for all cadres of healthcare workers, with a particular emphasis on emergency medicine, specialized medical fields, and primary healthcare skills. Develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to attract and retain qualified healthcare professionals in rural and remote areas through a combination of financial incentives, improved living and working conditions, opportunities for professional advancement, and enhanced management support.

4.Sustainable Healthcare Financing: Explore diversified revenue streams to reduce the healthcare system's heavy reliance on volatile oil revenues. Gradually increase the proportion of the national budget allocated to health to better meet the needs of the population and progress towards universal health coverage. Strategically leverage donor contributions to support national health priorities and build long-term sustainability. Enhance efficiency in healthcare spending through improved financial management, strategic purchasing, and the reduction of wastage.

5.Expanding Public Health Initiatives: Scale up successful existing preventative care programs and health education initiatives, tailoring them to the specific needs of different communities and focusing on promoting healthy behaviors. Strengthen community-based approaches for health promotion, disease prevention, and health service delivery by empowering community health workers and fostering community participation. Continue to strengthen and expand the reach of the national immunization program, addressing identified gaps in coverage and ensuring robust surveillance for vaccine-preventable diseases.

6.Leveraging Technology and Digital Health: Continue the strategic implementation and expansion of digital health solutions, including telemedicine, electronic health records, and mobile health applications, while simultaneously addressing the critical challenges of inadequate infrastructure, limited internet connectivity, and varying levels of digital literacy among healthcare workers and the general population. Effectively implement the national Digital Health Blueprint, ensuring collaboration and coordination among all stakeholders to maximize the benefits of digital health for improving healthcare access and quality.

7.Strengthening Coordination and Partnerships: Establish and strengthen mechanisms for effective coordination and collaboration among the government, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector involved in healthcare development. Regular consultations, joint planning, and shared monitoring frameworks are essential to ensure alignment of priorities, optimize resource utilization, and avoid duplication of efforts in the pursuit of a stronger and more effective healthcare system in Timor-Leste.

By implementing these integrated recommendations, Timor-Leste can build upon the progress already achieved and move towards a more equitable, resilient, and high-quality healthcare system that effectively addresses the health needs of all its citizens, contributing to improved health outcomes and the realization of universal health coverage.
