Before the first surgeries of the day, our surgeon carries out a daily ward round, accompanied by the ward nurses. A simple yet vital act: to listen, to observe, and to care - with compassion and professionalism. #Madagascar

WATER: ESSENTIAL TO HEALING FOR WOMEN WITH FISTULA Many women with fistula believe that drinking less will reduce urine leakage. But actually, when the body lacks water, urine becomes acidic and harms the skin around the wound. #endfistula #womenshealth #madagascar #fistulacare

For 18 years, Marie Justine lived in shame after a childbirth injury left her with fistula. In Madagascar, women wait 7.5 years on average for healing—but one surgery can change everything. Through July 31, all gifts MATCHED up to $100,000. Give healing and help hope take flight!

My name is Brigitte. I am 34 and live in Vatomandry. For 16 years fistula shaped my existence, trapping me in pain. Today, I am healed. I am free. I live without shame. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Breen and the Fistula Care Centre team. Because of them, I have my life back.

Sometimes, it’s important to take a step back and connect beyond the usual work setting. This dinner outing was a simple and warm moment for this Freedom From Fistula Madagascar team to relax and enjoy time together outside the office.
