UNMIT Partners with Community to Bring Medical Care to Border District
A medical team, coordinated by the UN Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste (UNMIT) and Timorese military, travelled to the Oecusse District on the border area between Timor-Leste and Indonesia, to deliver health care to the local people. 618 patients received malaria testing, vaccines, medication, and other kinds of care during the team’s visit.
