International Day to End Obstetric Fistula – May 23rd
On this International Day to End Obstetric Fistula, the Cameroon Society of Urology (SCUR) joins voices around the world to reaffirm our commitment to restoring dignity, hope, and health for the many women silently suffering from this preventable condition.
To the population:
Obstetric fistula is not just a medical issue—it is a matter of human rights and equity. Every woman and girl has the right to safe childbirth and access to timely surgical care. Let us raise awareness, support affected women, and break the stigma surrounding fistula. Together, we can create a society where no woman is left behind.
To health professionals:
We call on all colleagues to strengthen early detection, promote preventive obstetric care, and advocate for specialized urological and surgical interventions. Training, collaboration, and empathy are crucial tools in this fight. Together, let us continue to restore function, empower women, and promote safe motherhood.
👉 Obstetric fistula can be treated. It must be prevented. Let’s act together.
