First Aid Learning for Targeted Rural Communities in Timor-Leste

In Timor-Leste, poor road conditions and natural disasters pose significant challenges to accessing healthcare. Price et al.’s study identified geographic inaccessibility as a major barrier. The Timor-Leste Red Cross (CVTL) has addressed this issue by providing First Aid training. This program has effectively improved volunteer skills and reached over 35,000 community members. Challenges remain, including community participation and access to professional medical care. Measuring behavior change and adapting the program for different groups are essential considerations for its continued success. Funding for CVTL’s activities has been provided by the Japanese Red Cross Society.
