"Through my training and life as a doctor, I am aware of the burden borne by women with fistula. These women are rejected by their husbands, abandoned by their loved ones, humiliated, and excluded from society. They endure excruciating psychological suffering. My goal is to ensure that these women receive care, are surrounded by all the psychological and social support they need, regain their dignity, and can lead a healthy life like all other women. They do not deserve the stigma they face, and their rights to health and decent social treatment must be guaranteed."
