I have been in awe of the work of Dr Catherine Hamlin AC, Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia, for some time and can't believe it's taken me this long to post about it. Dr Hamlin has a dream to eradicate obstetric fistula for Ethiopian women. At the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital women are treated for this which not only puts their health at risk, but they are ostracised by their family and community. Dr Hamlin has created a safe place where women can go for treatment and are valued for the beautiful people that they are. But it doesn't stop there. Dr Hamlin has also set up a college that trains midwives so that there is greater opportunity to avoid obstetric fistula.
