Hanna met Dr Catherine Hamlin at the College and shares her vision of eradicating obstetric fistula in Ethiopia. Hanna’s team is raising awareness of fistula in the community and finding women with historic fistula injuries so they can receive treatment and immediate care.

“If a woman is free from obstetric fistula, she’s a backbone of the family. She’s a woman. She’s a sister, a mother and a wife. The family will be productive and future generations will be productive.” - Hanna

Hanna’s team is also preventing new fistula cases by improving the quality of and access to maternal healthcare across Ale Woreda.
