Obstetric fistula is one of the most devastating childbirth
injuries. It is caused by the lack of a skilled birth attendant and access to
emergency care during delivery. It is a highly stigmatizing, though in most
cases treatable condition that results from prolonged, obstructed labor and
causes chronic incontinence. According to currently accepted estimates, there
are some 50,000-100,000 new cases every year.
