Trachoma Milestone: WHO has certified Timor-Leste as having eliminated trachoma as a public health problem, meaning the whole WHO South-East Asia region is now trachoma-free and people face minimal risk—while health services are better positioned to detect and treat any future cases. Regional Health Leadership: At the 79th WHO South-East Asia Regional Committee meeting in Dili, member states adopted the Dili Declaration on Human Resources for Health, pushing equity in specialised care and linking progress to Universal Health Coverage, alongside resolutions on medical devices, diagnostics, assistive technologies, health facility resilience, patient and blood safety, sustainable financing, TB action, and vaccine confidence. TB Push: WHO South-East Asia members also committed to stronger, more integrated TB action—focusing on earlier diagnosis, wider prevention and treatment access, financial protection for families, and readiness for new TB vaccines. Medical Devices Access: WHO backed time-bound steps to improve equitable access to quality-assured medical devices, including in vitro diagnostics and assistive technologies, with national lead mechanisms targeted by 2027 and baseline assessments by 2028. Specialist Care Link: IHH Healthcare Malaysia signed an MoU with Timor-Leste to support referrals for specialist healthcare in Malaysia, including structured pathways at three Kuala Lumpur hospitals. Health Workforce & UHC Focus: The meeting also strengthened regional cooperation on digital health and AI through a new collaborative network.
