In this episode, we focus on the often overlooked women living in remote areas, who face significant challenges and are disproportionately affected by a life-altering injury resulting from the process of giving birth. Our main topic for today is obstetric fistula, a distressing and debilitating injury experienced by women during childbirth, which occurs when a woman endures a prolonged and obstructed labor without receiving timely and adequate maternal healthcare. This condition inflicts long-lasting physical and emotional trauma on women, if not treated, leading to chronic medical issues, depression, social isolation, and deepening poverty.

Join us as we engage with experts who shed light on the underlying causes of obstetric fistula and explore ways to put an end to this tragic condition, including investing in qualified midwives. Don't miss this episode featuring insightful discussions with subject-matter experts and powerful stories of women facing, and overcoming fistula.
