After many days of travel, we finally arrived in Nyabondo, and were able to start work. The nurses seem eager to polish their VIA skills, and the patients are happy to be seen. Day one went well- we saw 30 patients and expect to see many more tomorrow. Area health care workers helped to spread the word of our visit, and mobilize patients from surrounding areas to take the bus in to see us. This is so amazing and important, as only one woman I saw today had ever had cervical screening done before. We finished the day with a walk around town and a delicious dinner, and then off to bed so that we can do it again tomorrow.
