In the span of twenty-five days, the GAHP team visited seven outreach sites, including five banjar (village hamlets), as well as two established local non-profit organizations (Yaysan Bumi Sehat and East Bali Poverty Project). The team provided care to a population that included expectant mothers, infants, children with developmental challenges, and adult villagers with a variety of medical complaints.

The pilot field trip was considered a success on many levels. As a result, there has been an exciting interest in establishing a non-profit organization in Bali, whose mission would be to create and maintain a fully functioning mobile clinic. Following the pilot model, it is envisioned that the mobile clinic, stocked with appropriate equipment and treatment supplies, and manned by rotating, skilled practitioners, would provide much needed healthcare to the remote Balinese villagers. In addition, an important aspect of the proposed model is to instill ownership of the mobile clinic to local directors and practitioners through education and joint participation.
