Obstetric fistula is a medical condition in which a hole develops between the birth canal and bladder and/or between the birth canal and re**um because of prolonged, obstructed labour without access to timely, high-quality medical treatment.

Prolonged and obstructed labour leads to prolonged pressure on delicate tissues in the vaginal-anal area causing reduced blood flow to the area. This causes death to the cells and further pressure creates the hole.

Obstetric fistula results in women and girls leaking urine, faeces or both, and often leads to chronic medical problems, depression, social isolation and deepening poverty. Obstetric fistula can be corrected via surgery but most women in this condition are not able to access health care due to financial challenges.
