International Day to End Obstetric FistulaThe International Day to End Obstetric Fistula is a day aimed at raising awareness and garnering support to end the devastating medical condition, obstetric fistula. Affecting more than two million women and girls worldwide, obstetric fistula is a childbirth injury that results in incontinence, social stigma, and lifelong suffering, often pushing the victims into a life of isolation and poverty. In India, this day serves as an opportunity to strengthen healthcare systems and address the socio-economic factors that contribute to this debilitating condition, which predominantly affects women in rural and impoverished communities. First observed in 2013 by the United Nations, the International Day to End Obstetric Fistula highlights the need to increase investments to improve maternal health, address gender inequality, and eliminate the root causes of fistula. The issue remains critical in India, as the country accounts for a significant proportion of the global burden of obstetric fistula cases. With the collaborative efforts of UN agencies, local governments, and NGOs, India has made considerable strides in enhancing access to quality maternal health care, including timely interventions like caesarean sections, to potentially reduce the risk of obstetric fistula. As we recognize the International Day to End Obstetric Fistula on May 23, it is crucial to remember that this life-shattering condition is preventable and treatable. By continuing to strengthen healthcare services, empowering women, and advocating for better maternal care and rights, India can effectively work towards a future free from the devastating impact of obstetric fistula for millions of vulnerable women and girls.
