Those Moms Who Need a Boost on Mothers Day
New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof highlights the fight against fistula in his Mother's Day column:
"I've been writing about obstetric fistulas for a decade now, and I've seen tremendous progress.

In addition, the efforts to prevent fistulas are essentially the same as those to prevent maternal mortality, so women's lives are saved as well."
