Over 300 million women worldwide suffer from complications of pregnancy and delivery. For every woman who dies of maternal related causes, at least 20 women experience a maternal morbidity, of which obstetric fistula is one of the most severe forms.
Generally accepted estimates are that at least two million women live with obstetric fistula in the developing world, and more than 50,000 new cases occur each year.
All but eliminated from the developed world, obstetric fistula continues to affect the poorest of the poor: women and
girls living in some of the most resource-starved regions in the world.
