The Ministry of Health of Timor‑Leste, in partnership with the World Health Organization, opened a two‑day national workshop in Dili on June 2, 2025, focused on tackling stigma and discrimination in tuberculosis and HIV services. The workshop gathered health professionals, community leaders and policymakers to strengthen equitable care, improve early diagnosis, and encourage adherence to treatment.
