Article Synopsis
- An obstetric fistula is a severe complication from childbirth that creates an abnormal connection between the urinary tract or gastrointestinal tract and the genital tract, often due to prolonged and obstructed labor.
- Contributing factors like early marriage, poverty, and lack of access to proper healthcare have led to a high incidence of this condition in Ethiopia.
- Australian doctors Reginald and Catherine Hamlin moved to Ethiopia in 1959, developed a surgical technique for fistula repair, and founded the Addis Ababa Fistula Repair Hospital, helping over 60,000 women with transformative surgeries.
