Obstetric fistula is a severe condition that has devastating consequences for women and young girls. It is prevalent in poor countries, communities with high number of child brides and among women who give birth without access to medical help. If a woman’s labor becomes obstructed, she could remain in excruciating pain for days before her baby is finally dislodged. Her baby likely dies, and she is often left with an obstetric fistula, a small hole created by constant pressure from the foetus, which renders her incontinent. A woman with fistula constantly leaks urine, feaces or both. Stephanie’s goal is to eradicate fistula in Africa.
The program was supported by the UNFPA, where Ms. Linus serves as Regional Ambassador for Maternal Health in West and Central Africa.

ReplyDeleteAll Ngos keep taking everything to the north meanwhile the south and south east is in worse condition. I went to bayelsa and anambra one time for outreach and she'd tears. This is so unfair
Child marriage is common in core north but she has to be careful, those guys have a way of reasoning.
