our sweet staff at clinica MediSol

Barrio Villa Maria Triunfo (where our clinic is)

Another low-key day...another 30-some women/pt's seen and treated and another good training day for the Dr's here...We had all gotten used to a far more intense pace and are grumbling...though with only 3 more days here in Peru, it's good to wind down.

One OB doc told us she had traveled all night by bus from her home to arrive here for our training...and worked all day alongside us. Their gratitude is palpable. I can only imagine her home clinic...One gynecologist for 4,500 fertile-age women...wow. They are so thankful for this one-stop/one-day diagnosis and treatment regimen which PINCC teaches for HPV...as follow-up, quality of lab results and costs are ultimately huge problems for these poorer populations.

Once again the group split up to persue after-work agendas: the Inca Market for tourist shoppiing ...meeting friends for dinner, etc. (and in the case of our Jefas, Carol and Dr. Melissa: more work). Gratefully there is a quiet bistro across from our hotel: "Las Tejas", for cuchinos (shish-kebabs) and cerveza

Abrazos y besos,

Mai
