The ongoing transmission of infections and the development of antibiotic resistance pose immense health challenges in Timor-Leste. The Surveillance Training, Research Opportunities and National Guidelines for communicable disease control in Timor-Leste (STRONG-TL) project will involve the collaboration of local and international experts to deliver its aims.
A stronger health system, more capable of responding to communicable diseases, will be achieved through development and implementation of national communicable disease surveillance guidelines and strengthening of operational research capacity.
