Making Obstetric Fistula a Thing of the Past
In the mid-1880s, the site of New York City’s Waldorf Astoria hotel housed a fistula hospital–obstetric fistula was common in the U.S. Today, fistula rarely occurs in the U.S., but in the developing world it continues to be all too common. A recent story on PBS “News Hour” highlights Fistula Foundation, an Aid for Africa member working to heal and prevent this devastating childbirth injury. Watch the video.
