Announced by the Kwara State Ministry of Health, the surgeons will receive patients between Monday, August 5, and Friday, August 9 at the Aisha Buhari Mother and Child Hospital, Eyenkorin in ASA Local Government Area.
According to the National Library of Medicine, “[Obstetric fistula] usually occurs when a young, poor woman has an obstructed labour and can not get a Caesarean section when needed.”
