1st Charla de Salud

Yesterday, the clinic hosted a charla de salud—literally a "health chat" for the women who are involved in Peru Missions microfinance program, Sinergia.

Over 40 women crowded into one room to listen to Sonia Guerra, our Obstetriz from the Consultorio Médico Pastoral speak on female health and hygiene issues. They were educated on when to seek professional care, as well as reminded of the 50% discount they receive in the clinic due to their participation in Sinergia’s programs. All of the women listened attentively and were very receptive to the information. We were encouraged by their enthusiasm and questions and hope to serve them by hosting health education programs for them on a regular basis.


Su salud está en tus manos!
Your health is in your hands!
