LET’S JOIN HANDS TO PREVENT OBSTETRIC FISTULA

Most cases of obstetric fistula result from prolonged or complicated labor without proper medical assistance or delayed access to hospital care.

When the baby’s head stays too long in the birth canal, it can damage the bladder and cause continuous urine leakage.

Let’s work together to encourage pregnant women to attend regular antenatal check-ups and deliver in health facilities, ensuring proper monitoring and preventing avoidable complications.

Freedom From Fistula Madagascar is committed to preventing and treating fistula- all services are completely free.

We are delighted to share a patients story sent by the team in Madagascar.

A NEW BEGINNING FOR CHRISTIANA: HEALED AFTER A LIFETIME WITH FISTULA

Christiana is 25 years old and comes from Antsohihy, a town in north-western Madagascar, 811 km from Toamasina.

She lived with fistula from birth. There was never a moment in her life when she was free from this condition. She suffered in silence - only her parents knew about her situation. To attend school, spend time with friends, and live normally, she had to wear a sanitary pad every day.

The greatest challenge was the psychological burden. Every worry reminded her of her condition, filling her with deep sadness. Her family sought treatment many times, but only medication was offered, with no improvement.

Hope came when they heard about Freedom From Fistula Madagascar, through a former patient from their area who had been successfully treated.

At the clinic, Christiana received compassionate and high-quality care. Today, she is fully healed.

Now she looks forward to living like everyone else. Currently in her second year at university, she dreams of building a family and a professional future.

She is deeply grateful to the entire team who made this new beginning possible.

This week, we were delighted to welcome the first group of first-year nursing students from Kamuzu University of Health Sciences to the Freedom From Fistula Centre in Malawi for their clinical attachment.

Over the next four weeks, we’ll be hosting 20 students in total, rotating in groups of five for one-week placements. During their time with us, the students will gain hands-on experience in caring for fistula patients, learning about both pre-operative and post-operative care and seeing first-hand the compassion, dignity and specialist support that fistula care requires.

We’re proud to support the next generation of nurses and to play a part in their learning journey, sharing skills, knowledge and understanding that will shape their future practice.

A warm welcome to our first group, we’re so glad to have you with us 💙

💙 OUR VOLUNTEER NURSES

At the Fistula Care Centre, our volunteer nurses (operating theatre nurses, ward nurses, and nurse anaesthetists) play very important roles in our daily activities.

Every day, they prepare patients for surgery, assist in the operating room, monitor post-operative recovery, and provide comfort and support.

At the same time, they continue learning and strengthening their professional skills alongside our experienced team.

🙏 Thank you to our volunteer nurses for your dedication, energy, and compassion.

You are changing lives.
