Obstetric fistula is one of the most serious and debilitating childbirth injuries. It is a hole between the birth canal and bladder and/or rectum, it is caused by prolonged, obstructed labor without access to timely, high-quality medical treatment. It leaves women and girls leaking urine, feces or both, and often leads to chronic medical problems, depression, social isolation, and deepening poverty. According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNPF) , there are half a million women and girls in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean are estimated to be living with fistula, with new cases developing every year.
