We marked the successful closing of the Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (EmONC) Training (Batch 15), which brought together 16 dedicated healthcare professionals, including three doctors and 13 midwives from 9 municipalities throughout Timor-Leste.

During the 26-days intensive training (14 October – 14 November 2025), participants strengthened their skills, knowledge, and capacities in Basic Emergency Obstetric Care (EmONC). The training also aims to achieve specific objectives, such as strengthening participants’ ability to interpret clinical information, identify complications, make accurate diagnoses, manage obstetric emergencies, understand and treat hemorrhage, and apply proper referral and transfer procedures for mothers and newborns.
