"YRS finally Resumed Face-to-Face PE Training"
The Covid-19 vaccination in the community has a good impact on us. Besides being able to reduce the number of coronavirus transmissions, vaccines also make us feel confident to get up to carry out various normal activities and direct social interactions. This also has a positive effect on us, most of whom have activities in Traditional Markets, especially one of our programs, namely the Education Program through Peer Educators.
Because many of our PE have been vaccinated, we resumed the face-to-face process which aims to refresh and improve the skills of PEs in distributing education in their respective communities. The topics of discussion are early detection of cervical cancer (pap smear & IVA), subsequent detection of breast cancer (BSE & breast ultrasound). The enthusiasm and joy of the PEs were felt because they were finally able to gather and discuss after being delayed for 6 months. This training was divided into 2 groups and 2 sessions while still applying the correct health protocol. With this training, YRS hopes that Peer Educators will be able to expand the range of knowledge so that women in Bali are free from cervical cancer and breast cancer.
"Being Healthy and Enthusiastic at an Old Age"
People generally think that Sanur is a tourism area inhabited by people with middle and upper economic abilities. However, in reality, there are still many people who have lower-middle social status. Ibu Emben (62 years old) is a Balinese snack seller at the Intaran market in Sanur who can only rely on life from selling in her small stall. Moreover, Ibu Emben has hypertension which often makes her unfit and prevents her from selling. Although she has a great spirit.
Since the existence of the YRS Clinic at the Sanur Intaran market in 2013, Ibu Emben feels a breath of fresh air, without hesitation, she consulted and checked her health condition. YRS handled his hypertension well, even though she was only able to pay voluntarily. but that doesn't stop us from serving our clients because the health of our clients is of utmost importance to us. Since then, Mrs. Emben has been a YRS client who has regularly visited the Sanur clinic until now. Her enthusiasm and awareness about health actually inspired us to be more vigorous in serving clients around the Sanur market.
After regular visits to the clinic, Ibu Emben now has a good medical record, her blood pressure is getting more controlled. She beamed with delight when we meet each other, even though now in a pandemic condition and a decrease in buyers, she is still enthusiastic. We hope that YRS can provide great benefits for residents around Sanur such as Ibu Emben to empower women in Healthcare.
