      Hi there,

      Could you please elaborate on what “basic health post” means. Would it be just primary first aid level or more like what a GP has here in Aus?

      Thank you!

        Hello Ruby

        The health post is staffed by two doctors and is more comparable to a GP here in Australia. Villagers would need to head into Liquica or to Dili for services such as maternal health, specialist care etc.
