The Yayasan Rama Sesana (YRS) reproductive health center at the traditional market (Pasar Badung) in Denpasar was officially opened by I Gusti Ayu Bintang Dharmawati, head of the Center of the Consolidated Services for Women's Empowerment for Bali on August 25, 2004, after several months of services, but has been operational since January 2004. Concentrating on the population around them, vendors, their partners, and customers, YRS has been able to reach a large client base, offering them convenient access to important services and information.
The initiative of dr. Luh Putu Upadisari with start-up support of BIWA, and with majority funding from ALF/YKIP, YRS also receives additional small grants and private donations for certain components. The YRS Center has served thousands of women and their partners since it opened. The center provides free and low-cost pap smears, contraception, pregnancy tests and prenatal care, and tests for STDs and HIV/AIDS and general medical check-ups, as well as monthly educational discussions on health topics, and outreach to the general public.
