The Impact of Fistula Surgery on Women in Poor Countries

Catherine Hamlin fistula Foundation has treated more than 60,000 women and is expanding from Ethiopia into Uganda. The foundation rigorously reviews all potential partners to ensure it funds reputable local surgeons in regions with the greatest need. They cover the cost of surgery itself as well as a range of related components that include anesthesia, nursing care and supplies. My Me Too Gase was 15 and illiterate when after three days labor she delivered a stillborn baby and found herself with a fistula which made her incontinent.
