YOU CAN SUPPORT 2 FISTULA PROJECTS

Niger Republic has made significant strides toward combating obstetric fistula; however, the scope of the problem in this region is immense.  Niger has both the highest fertility rate and one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world, yet it is one of the world's poorest countries.  An estimated 100,000 Nigerien women and girls already suffer from obstetric fistulas, with approximately 8,000 new cases each year.  Child birth at a young age and malnutrition predisposes adolescent girls to developing fistulas; in Niger more than one-third (36%) of girls ages 15-19 have already been pregnant and/or have children. CSL Danja is partnering with Worldwide Fistula Fund to build and operate a new surgical centre to treat women with obstetric fistula injuries.  The fistula centre is expected to provide care for  women with fistulas, train doctors from Niger and other African countries in fistula repair, and develop model community-based programs to prevent prolonged obstructed labour - the major cause of fistula formation.

GOOD NEWSTHE DANJA FISTULA HOSPITAL OPENED IN FEBRUARY 2012.
