Medisol clinic

Bundled up in jackets and headed for the outskirts(Barrio Villa Maria Triunfo) at 7 am. We were greeted by a huge sign announcing our presence at their clinic today (see photo). They are a full-service Women's clinic including an on-call 24-7 midwife who lives above the clinic.
Today was a bit "sketchy" as they say...a slower pace than normal though they trickled in at a steady rate till nearly 6 pm. One woman stated she had traveled 2 days from the Amazon to attend our clinic today...that knocked me out.
The good news is that of the 40+ women seen at clinic today, none were high-grade lesions which speaks to how well they are caring for the women in their area after the prior PINCC trainings. Our work is nearly done here. However the trainees hoping to be certified this week in cryo and biopsy need more serious cases to see to become competent.
But tomorrow IS another day, as Scarlett would say.

Cheers,
Mai
