On 14-15 of May, WaterAid Timor-Leste (WATL) through the Strengthening Healthy Life (HAMOS) program has provided 2-days operation and maintenance (O&M) training on the inclusive water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities at the health care facilities (HCF) to the health workers in Liquiçá municipality.
