Reaching Out To New Market Communities

In addition to the daily activities at the two clinics in Badung and Sanur market, YRS’ mobile clinic reached out to two new market communities in Denpasar last September.

In collaboration with the market association Koppas Kumbasari, YRS’ mobile clinic provided their services at Pemogan, Monang-Maning and Sindhu Market. The first two markets are new locations for YRS’ mobile clinic, which provided cervical and breast cancer screening to the market and its surrounding communities. YRS saw more than 300 women and girls during these three mobile clinics last month.

A peer group meeting was also conducted last month, discussing the topic of urinary tract infection, an infection of the reproductive organ that is not transmitted through sexual activities. About 10 YRS peer educators attended this discussion and then shared this new-found knowledge to the market community, reaching more than 50 people in the community.
