The Bairo Pite Clinic is an NGO that provides free healthcare to the people of Timor-Leste, caring for patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week.The Clinic was set up by Dr Dan Murphy in 1999, originally to provide emergency medical care to serve the needs of a population affected by the humanitarian crisis. Now the Clinic provides a comprehensive community health service, with doctors, nurses, midwives, lab technicians and administrative staff.
