Samraksha, a non governmental organization NGO in Bangalore, South India, was established in 1993 to take steps to control the spread of HIV infection. As a result of their interactions the Samraksha team recognized the urgent need for management of sexually transmitted diseases STDs as a crucial component of their work. Samraksha approached Action Health, a UK based charity, for assistance. This paper outlines the needs assessment and the process of setting up a Well Woman Clinic for commercial sex workers CSWs and other vulnerable groups in Bangalore. The pilot project has been running for over a year and has gained credibility both with vulnerable women and with professionals. Furthermore it has officially become a government resource centre for the training of doctors and health care staff in the management of STDs, and provides formal training sessions for the staff at each of the primary health care centres in Bangalore. Thus STD management is being integrated with the current primary health care provision for women throughout Bangalore. Factors influencing the successful development of such a service are considered.
