International Day to End Obstetric Fistula

International Day to End Obstetric Fistula History

The International Day to End Obstetric Fistula is an observance sponsored by the United Nations. Fistula is one of the worst injuries a woman can have during childbirth. This injury only occurs without proper treatment during labour. The observance aims to promote events and raise awareness so that no women experience the Fistula ever again. International Day to End Obstetric Fistula happens every year on may 23rd.
