February is known as the month of love because it is in the atmosphere of Valentine. YRS activities in February are carried out with the theme "Love", sharing care through health services and disseminating information on sexual reproduction to the public and their loved ones.
YRS carries out full of love health services for people in areas that are quite difficult to reach by health services in Munti Gunung Village located on the north side of Mount Agung. Health information is still very much needed by them, which has been difficult for them to get, so they tend not to understand the impact of lack of health knowledge. This can be seen that there are still cases of a 19-year-old mother who has 4 children and does not use contraception. More than 200 people accessed YRS services at that time, with various health problems. Besides at Karangasem, YRS also conduct another mobile clinic services at Bangli in Batur Tengah Village and Buahan Village who also have difficult access to health information. From mobile clinic activities this month, we reach more than 400 people within more than 250 people received cervical and breast cancer examination.
Sharing compassion is also done through the dissemination of reproductive health information and donating to YRS to succeed the women's reproductive health program. We attended an event held by the International School at Green School, where students and parents at the school made a donation to YRS and we provided health education to all visitors to the event.
February 4th is World Cancer Day, when organizations and individuals around the world unite to raise awareness about cancer and work to make it a global health priority. This year, it’s estimated that nearly 8 million people worldwide will die from cancer. Because of this, YRS keep force to spread women cancer information to market community. To get more deeply understanding in market community about cancer, we collaborate with peer and constantly give education to increase awareness and change attitude and behavior to better understanding about the nature of cancer and prevent die from cancer.
