Launching of “Haforsa Distritu iha Implementasaun Atividade Kuidadus Saude Primaria (HADIAK)

Distinguished Guests,
Representatives of UN Agencies supporting the Health Sector
Representatives of USAID, AusAID and other Bilateral Organisations
Representatives of National and International NGOS
Staff of the Ministry of Health
Ladies and Gentlemen,

Good Morning to you all

It is with great satisfaction that we gather here today, once again, to join forces towards the implementation of an important health initiative which I strongly believe will help improve the lives of many Timorese people, and which is linked to the Revitalization of Primary Health Care System in Timor-Leste.

I am very pleased to learn that, after almost three years promoting the idea of an integrated community health services in Timor-Leste, our development partners are finally joining the Ministry of Health in creating the conditions for a full implementation of SISCa.

As part of their package of assistance to our Government, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Australian International Development Agency (AusAID) agreed to support the Ministry of Health to “HaforsaDistrituihaImplementasaunActividadeKuidadusSaúdePrimária”.

HADIAK is intended to strengthen leadership and management capacity of the district health services in order to fully perform their tasks of improving the health status of the people living in their geographic catchment areas.

The Ministry of Health is grateful for such a collaborative initiative and I am committed to ensure focus on the main goals of this new project is achieved over the next four years.

Although the project main areas of interventions are directed towards the achievement of MDG 4 and MDG 5, an integrated approach to improving community health is paramount.

Technical Interventions on safe motherhood, neonatal, infant and child health, family planning and related maternal and infant nutrition, could only succeed if complemented by appropriate support services such as human resources, infrastructure, financial resources and strong management system.

These are the components of the National Health Strategic Plan 2011-2030 and, thus, partnership coordination and collaboration throughout its implementation stages is imperative.

HADIAK will be first piloted in Five Districts, Baucau, Ermera, Manatuto, Oecusse and Viqueque. I challenge all partners to also assist the MoH strengthen the remaining district health services in order to avoid unequal delivery of basic services to the population.

The challenges ahead are enormous for the sector, particularly as we accommodate the new medical graduates who will important driving forces in the revitalization of primary health care in Timor-Leste.

Let’s all work together for the successful implementation of HADIAK.

Thank you all very much for your attention.

Returned from a 10 days trip to Brazil and Portugal”

 

IV GOVERNO CONSTITUCIONAL

 MINISTÉRIO DA SAÚDE

 PRESS RELEASE

“Minister of Health, Prof. Dr. Nelson Martins,MD,MHM,PhD

Returned from a 10 days trip to Brazil and Portugal”

Dr. Nelson Martins, Minister of Health, joined Member States of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Rio de Janeiro for the World Conference on Social Determinants of Health, held 19-21 of October 2011, to express determination to achieve social and health equity through action on social determinants of health and well-being by a comprehensive intersectoral approach.

The conference brought together over 1000 participants representing more than 124 WHO Member States and a diverse group of stakeholders. The key message addressed by all in the “Rio Political Declaration on Social Determinants of Health” was that of a health equity being a shared responsibility which requires the engagement of all sectors of government, of all segments of society, and of all members of the international community. Representatives of Governments committed themselves to strive individually and collectively to develop and support policies, strategies, programmes and action plans, which address social determinants of health.

When asked about the relevance of this World Conference to Timor-Leste, Minister Nelson Martins replied “our country deals regularly with several determinants of health which constitutes a barrier to pursue of better health for the Timorese people”. He added further that “the long journey to Rio de Janeiro was all worthwhile as the health sector is essential to sustainable development of any country, in particular for a young country like Timor-Leste… health must be at the heart of every institutional setting and included in every sector’s political agenda. The biggest challenge I face as a Minister is how to ensure that the increased General State Budget or donor funding for the health services are complemented by harmonized initiatives from other social, cultural and economic tiers of the state to allow for a sustainable development of our country”.

The last day of the Conference was concluded with an Extraordinary Meeting of Ministers of Health of the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP). The main objective was to update country members on the progress made to the Strategic Plan for Cooperation in Health 2009-2012 or PECS/CPLP (Plano Estratégico de Cooperação em Saúde), of which Timor-Leste has been benefiting greatly in the area of Human Resources Development.

Minister Martins stopped in Portugal on the way back to Dili from Brazil for a two days visit, following from an invitation of Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, an important development partner from Portugal which has been supporting training of Nurses and Midwives in Timor-Leste through the former Institute of Health Science (now National Health Institute). Soon after landing in Lisbon, a busy schedule awaited the delegation, including a meeting with Timorese Medical Students in Lisbon and also another meeting arrange by Timorese Student Association in Coimbra, a courtesy meeting with the Minister of Health of Portugal and a visit to the Institute of Health Technologies in Lisbon, followed by a presentation to students and health researchers on the importance of evidence based research for development of policies and decision-making in health related issues.

While in Portugal, His Excellency Dr. Nelson Martins was happy to learn that many Timorese students are committed to return back to work in Timor-Leste after they finish their university studies. As the Minister learned during the visit “Portugal offers very good study opportunities to Health Professionals and after meeting their Minister of Health, the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the School of Health Technology I believe we can really strengthen our cooperation in the areas of continuous education for nurses, midwives, health technicians like laboratory, pharmacists and radiologists, as well as in medical specializations”. The Portuguese counterparts presented their interest in contributing towards the implementation the National Health Sector Strategic Plan 2011-2030, in sharing their different areas of expertise in health policy and regulation, research and training capacity.

Overall, the trip was a success and it is important now that continued relations with the Timorese Students and the Portuguese institutions are strengthened to allow for exchange of knowledge and experiences. Lastly, with regards to lessons learnt from the World Conference on Social Determinants of Health, full implementation of the Development Strategic Plan 2030 will testify the Government commitment towards a sustainable and healthier Timor-Leste.
