Their community health work is unique. They hold health fairs, educational talks and nutritional workshops through which good habits are promoted for the prevention of chronic diseases.
Their programmes are open to anyone in the community, but in general the majority of the participants are women, including mothers of all ages. The talks and workshops that the clinic offers provide education on physical health, healthy relationships and healthy self-esteem. They aim to positively influence the lives of women and to help them change, if necessary, some of their daily habits.
‘When we can influence change, the whole family is positively affected and, as a consequence, the community,’ says Development Officer Claudia Franchetti, who was instrumental in instigating and implementing this project, which has seen nearly 5,000 patients in-clinic and more than 1,000 patients in the community programmes across 2022.
