As of May 5, 2026, the Associação dos Médicos de Timor-Leste (AMTL) is officially a member of the Medical Association of Southeast Asia (MASEAN).

This marks a historic milestone for AMTL and for Timor-Leste—a defining moment where our medical community steps onto the regional stage with pride and purpose. It reflects our unwavering commitment to grow, to collaborate, and to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of healthcare across ASEAN.

From the perspective of the President and the Secretary-General of AMTL, this achievement is not only a recognition of our progress, but also a responsibility. It reinforces our commitment to elevate the standards of medical practice in Timor-Leste, align with regional benchmarks, and strengthen professional integrity within our healthcare system.

This milestone also calls us to take concrete steps forward—establishing a national medical council, formalizing a code of medical ethics, and ensuring clear competency standards for our doctors. These are essential to protect patients, uphold quality, and prepare Timorese doctors to compete and collaborate at both regional and global levels.

This is not just membership.
This is the beginning of a stronger, more connected future.
