Abstract
This study presents a community-based initiative providing budgeted health services targeted primarily for women from low-income families in an urban area. The health services were provided once a month and covered basic check-up and an examination conducted by a female doctor. During the period of this study, the services were attended by 411 residents, 10% of them are men. Based on the interviews, the residents gave positive feedback on this initiative as it helps them indicate any sickness symptoms that need to be followed up by a comprehensive examination in primary health care or hospital.
