Women in this photograph await fistula surgery in a corridor outside the operating theatre of the Babbar Ruga Fistula Centre in Katsina, Nigeria. The average cost of fistula surgery is USD $300, well beyond the reach of most women with the condition. During the "Fistula Fortnight," all women were treated free of charge. |

When Dr. Idriss Halliru (seen here with a patient) was approached in 1995 to train with Dutch surgeon Kees Waaldijk, he readily took up the challenge. In his five years at the Babbar Ruga Fistula Centre, Halliru acquired the skills to be an expert fistula surgeon. |

In this image, a nurse attends to a fistula patient in the recovery room immediately after surgery at the Babbar Ruga Fistula Centre. Dozens of specially trained nurses and social workers deployed to the four "Fistula Fortnight" treatment sites ensured that patients received appropriate post-operative care and counselling. |
