On International Day to End Obstetric Fistula - 23 May, the African Union Commission Highlights Key Interventions to End Fistula within a Generation
May 24, 2016
English
What is Obstetric Fistula?
Fistula is a childbirth injury (a hole in the birth canal) caused by prolonged obstructed labor, the lack of access to proper and prompt medical intervention, leaving the woman with chronic incontinence and in most cases a stillborn baby. The smell of leaking urine, faeces or both, is constant and humiliating, often driving the patients' family, friends and neighbors away. If left untreated, fistula can lead to chronic medical problems including ulcerations, kidney disease, and nerve damage in the legs.
