In recent years, more information has become available
about obstetric fistula in the developing world. Below you
will find links to fistula-related websites.
 The UNFPA's Campaign to End Fistula currently covers some 30 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and some Arab States. The Campaign works in three key areas: prevention, treatment and support to help women who have been repaired return to their communities. And it works in three phases: assessing needs, planning interventions and implementing national strategies. The Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital is a key global partner in the campaign.
