Strengthening the Timor-Leste National Institute of Health: A Partnership in Institutional Development

JSI’s USAID-supported Reinforce Project and the Instituto Nacional de Saúde (INS) strengthened management, leadership, and governance, resulting in improvements to standard operating procedures, quality monitoring, information-sharing within the INS and with stakeholders, implementation of competency-based in-service training, and a commitment to continue strategic planning. In fewer than five years, this investment has positioned the INS to scale vast improvements to the quality of care provided by Timor-Leste’s public health system. This report was written by JSI in 2020.
