ULTRASOUND HEALTH - Timor

MRN has sent two Portable Ultrasounds to Timor-Leste

One to Sabeh clinic, an NGO and the other to a Bacau Clinic

which supports Veterans from the war between the Timorese

people and Indonesia (which led to Timor-Leste independence).

SABEH Clinic (Health for all people), is run

entirely by Timor-Leste doctors and nurses,

including a pharmacist, and public health

volunteers. They trek and travel to the most

remote areas of the country attending to

patients that live too far away for regular

visits to clinics or hospitals.

Ultrasounds are used intensively for all

stages of maternal health monitoring and

procedures as well as assisting to identify

cancer, tumors and other conditions.

We will be following the progress of these

two machines and the stories that will come

from them.
