Strengthening emergency and critical care across the Pacific

We believe in the power of collaboration, trust, and sustainability to build resilient healthcare systems. Our mission is to enhance emergency and critical care capacity across Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea, and the broader Pacific region, ensuring that every individual has access to timely and effective care.

Overview of the RECSI program

The Regional Emergency and Critical Care Systems Strengthening Initiative (RECSI) is a collaborative effort led by a consortium of healthcare organisations committed to improving emergency and critical care in the Pacific region. Supported by the Australian Government through the Partnerships for a Healthy Region (PHR) initiative, RECSI focuses on enhancing healthcare systems, building workforce capacity, and improving emergency preparedness across Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea, and the Pacific region.
