Uaimori health clinic
A team of 12 International Stabilisation Force (ISF) Army engineers and 13 East Timor Defence Force (F-FDTL) engineers came together in the district of Uaimori to build a health clinic. The clinic took two weeks to build and will service the entire community. It will also provide working accommodation for health teams that service the community.
President Jose Ramos-Horta officially opened the clinic, thanking the ISF and F-FDTL for their work and the Uaimori community.
