Obstetric fistula is not just a medical condition—
It's a symbol of systemic gender inequality.
🧕 It affects the most vulnerable: young, poor, rural women.
⛔ It reflects barriers to education, healthcare & rights.
💬 It silences lives. We must change that.

The view from behind the anesthetist placing anesthesia for a patient who will undergo surgery to fix her obstetric fistula. Anesthetist is wearing a bright bright blue hair cap, and there is ambient light on the field.
Teamwork is the only way #safesurgery happens, from the cleaners, sterilizers, nurses and all who interact with our patients- from the they enter hospital doors to their discharge home. #Gambia #endfistula
