Author's note: Catherine Hamlin, an Australian doctor, established
A hospital in Ethiopia in 1974 with her late husband
to treat women who had been damaged by the complications
of childbirth. Because of their wretched injuries these women
were commonly cut off from
their families and communities,
often permanently. So far the hospital has successfully performed
fistula repair surgery
on more than 34,000 women.
