This year YRS program runs more stable and also more exists from the previous year due to promotion conducted last year. YRS wish to more exist by increase medical services target coverage, expand education coverage, as well as new area of mobile clinic. Target coverage is not only market communities but extended to women outside the market.

YRS keep running the peer educator program with more various educational material and new peers. And also keep the spirit to serving people in the remote area by increase the frequency of mobile clinic services with new area expansion at Karangasem region.

Medical Program at Base Clinics, YRS performs all medical activities in both base clinics (Tiara Grosir market clinic and Sanur clinic) except breast check by ultrasounds conduct only at Tiara Grosir clinic.

We successfully screened breast and cervical cancer in women working in markets as well as outside the market. It seen from the achievements of Pap smears, STI lab and breast checks approaching 60% of the target. The ultrasound achievement is lower because only clients are found abnormalities in breast checks exam by ultrasound.

HIV test coverage in the midyear almost same as the previous year due to the same constraint that is limited supply of HIV reagent from Health Department of Bali government.
