Abstract
Female genital fistula remains a public health concern in developing countries. From January 2007 to September 2013, the Fistula Care project, managed by EngenderHealth in partnership with the Ministry of Health, and supported by USAID, integrated fistula repair services in the maternity wards of general hospitals in Guinea. The objective of this article is to present and discuss the clinical outcomes of 7 years of work involving 2116 women repaired in three hospitals across the country.
