Father Antonio Martins Abad-Santos, a Filipino medical doctor/Jesuit priest known as Father Bong, runs a mobile medical clinic in the mountainous terrain of Timor-Leste. The lack of transport and isolated conditions make it difficult for the rural people to receive adequate healthcare. Fr Bong travels with two assistants to isolated areas in the districts of Ermera and Liquica. Fr Bong also provides a religious service at the Gmanhati hamlet, Ermera for those villagers who wish to attend.
