What HAMNASA - Hamutuk Nasaun Saudavel does

HAMNASA (Hamutuk Nasaun Saudável) is a Timor-Leste national non-government organization established in 2021, succeeding Health Alliance International's in-country operations and continuing institutional relationships with the Ministry of Health that date to Timor-Leste's 2002 independence. The organization delivers public health programs across maternal, newborn and child health, tuberculosis screening and treatment, gender-based violence prevention and response, and health system strengthening, operating in multiple municipalities including Dili, Ermera, Liquica, Bobonaro, Covalima, Aileu, Manufahi, Ainaro, and Oecusse.

The portfolio combines service delivery and capacity building: the Global Fund-financed Mobile Diagnostic Van deploys a digital X-ray machine paired with artificial intelligence to screen for tuberculosis among malnourished mothers and children across Dili clinics; the Learning Labs program (developed with the National Institute of Public Health) builds maternal and newborn health competencies through on-site simulation; Prontu, co-developed with PRONTO International, delivers emergency obstetric and newborn care simulation training; Positive Parenting and Fathers for Change programs address gender-transformative family dynamics; and Harmonia and the now-terminated Breaking Barriers programs delivered multi-sector GBV response across four municipalities.

HAMNASA is funded almost entirely through grants from international donors — the Australian Government (DFAT), the Global Fund, UNFPA, The Asia Foundation, KOICA, and until February 2025, USAID — and operates as an implementing partner to the Ministry of Health, charging no fees to program beneficiaries (pregnant women, TB patients, families, and GBV survivors). The go-to-market is event- and partnership-driven rather than commercial: programs are secured through grant proposals to development partners and delivered jointly with government health facilities and community structures. Revenue is grant-lumpy and donor-dependent, with no commercial product line, pricing model, or direct customer billing.
