RESCI aims to enhance emergency and critical care capabilities in Timor Leste, Papua New Guinea, and the Pacific, with a focus on resilience and preparedness for health emergencies.

RECSI will focus on four key areas: workforce capacity and training, systems and processes, data and research capabilities, and leadership and governance.
