Operation Fistula
Project Summary
Dashboard analyzed obstetric fistula, an abnormal opening between a woman’s genital tract and her urinary tract or rectum in Africa.
As a black woman in Africa, this is one of the projects that I am highly passionate about. I first learned about Obstetric Fistula after watching the movie "Dry" by Stephanie Okereke Linus in 2014. I later found out that there are more than 2 million young women living with untreated obstetric fistula in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. According to WHO (World Health Organisation), about 50,000 - 100,000 women worldwide are affected by obstetric fistula. As a result, obstetric fistula is directly linked to one of the major causes of maternal mortality and obstructed labor; while women who suffer from obstetric fistula experience constant incontinence, societal shame, social segregation, and health problems.
