The extraordinary medical professionals at Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia have made significant progress over the last few months, despite the enormous challenges they have faced. Their unwavering determination to continue Dr Catherine Hamlin’s work is an inspiration to all. Through the newly developed Treatment Dashboard, Hamlin's Management and Clinical Teams are able to assess the progress of each of Hamlin's six obstetric fistula hospitals. The results over the past two months are very encouraging, given the continued impact of COVID-19 on patient flow.
A vital tool in making the best decisions
The Hamlin Impact Report is used to record patient admission rates, the number and type of surgical procedures undertaken, the fistula closure rate, the incontinence cure rate, and the number of patients and outpatients discharged at each of Hamlin's six hospitals. Through monthly updates to the dashboard, Hamlin's Management and Clinical Teams can monitor and evaluate each hospital's performance. By collating this data, the Hamlin Team can make informed, timely decisions on each hospital's treatment program.
Below are key data points from Hamlin's hospitals from November to December of 2020.

Hamlin's work - from finding and treating fistula patient to rehabilitating and reintegrating women back into their communities - is only possible thanks to the ongoing commitment and generosity of Hamlin supporters.
