“The world does not exist without mothers. Investing in health facilities is very important to save the lives of mothers and babies in Timor Leste,” said President Jośe Ramos Horta at the inauguration. Timor Leste has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in Southeast Asia, at 195 per 100,000 live births, and an infant mortality rate of 30 per 1,000 live births.
