"In Afghanistan, Where Motherhood is Dangerous"

Mark Leon Goldberg - March 17, 2009 - 9:48 am

A UN-produced video on Fistula in Afghanistan. Apparently, there is only one facility in the whole country where obstetric fistula is surgically treated.

UPDATE: A reader corrects me: "Actually, the video reports that, in addition to the special unit in Kabul, surgery for fistula has also been performed at the provincial hospital in Badakhshan, in northeast Afghanistan (among other hospitals)."
