SAMES, Timor-Leste

Beyond Essential, in collaboration with Sustainable Solutions, is working with the Servico Autonomo de Medicamentos e Equipamentos de Saude (SAMES)—the National Medical Stores of Timor Leste—to strengthen medicines procurement, warehousing and distribution. This project has seen mobile electronic inventory (mSupply Mobile) installed on tablet computers in 24 health facilities in Dili District in 2016. This, combined with measures to improve the availability and quality of medicines at the central level, is aimed at improving access to medicines and nutritional supplements for the population of Dili. Beyond Essential is continuing this collaboration in 2017, rolling out improved services to other districts within the country.

BES’ headquarters are on Wurundjeri land near Merri Creek in Naarm (Melbourne), Australia. For thousands of years, Merri Creek provided Aboriginal people with many of the essentials of their day-to-day lives including water, timber and bark for building shelters, plant life for food and medicinal purposes, and animals for food.

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people who are the Traditional Custodians of that Land. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders past, present and emerging of the Kulin Nation and extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Australia.

Our acknowledgements extend to the traditional owners of the lands on which we work across the Pacific—including Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), where we recognise Māori as the Tangata Whenua of Aotearoa. BES commits to upholding their tino rangatiratanga over their lands, resources and taonga as described by te Tiriti o Waitangi.
