Introduction

Associação Maluk Timor is a non-governmental organization (NGO) committed to capacity building and health system strengthening in Timor-Leste, through the mentoring and professional development of Timorese health personnel.

The ASTEROID "Advancing Surveillance & Training to Enhance Recognition of Infectious Disease" project is a three-year training outreach aiming to improve the recognition, treatment, notification and prevention of infectious diseases in Timor-Leste. The project will use multimedia delivery of training content to more than 300 clinical staff across all thirteen municipalities of Timor-Leste.

It is funded by the Australian Government, as part of the Pacific Infectious Disease Prevention (PIDP) Program, through the IndoPacific Centre for Health Security. The training package will be developed in conjunction with Instituto Nacional de Saúde (INS) and the Ministry of Health (MoH), and the project will engage a number of implementing partners including Catalpa International, Menzies School of Health Research (Menzies) and Northern

Territory General Practice Education (NTGPE).

The ASTEROID Project will deliver a focused curriculum of teaching on infectious diseases in Timor-Leste with an emphasis on practical application of existing national guidelines particularly at primary care level. This presents an opportunity to harmonize and socialize the many guidelines and resources already developed for infectious diseases by the MoH, the World Health Organization and other institutions and partners.

The learning package will apply basic principles of infection prevention and control (IPC), clinical practice, community health and disease notification, and will work to ensure the application of those principles to at least 26 health facilities including all municipalities.
