Despite widespread assumptions, most husbands do not separate from wives who develop #fistula after childbirth. What factors are associated with couples staying together? Find out from RTI authors @cngongo @donal_bisanzio & Dr Carla Bann.

#obstetricfistula elimination requires prevention: timely access to quality emergency obstetric care and safe surgery services. Plus treatment for all women already living with incontinence. Bravo to all who are working to #EndFistula.

[Gillian Slinger @FistulaGillian]

Today is the International Day to End Obstetric Fistula/IDEOF 2023. Adopted by the UN in 2013 to raise awareness & help for women with #obstetricfistula each 23 May. We’re making progress but MUCH more needs to be done to #EndFistula🌼 @FIGOHQ @TCHGlobalHealth @Fistula_Fdtn #SDGs

So astonishing and merciful to witness disease elimination. No more lymphatic filariasis in Bangladesh! Bravo to everyone has been working so long toward this achievement.

[RTI International @RTI_Intl]

Today, RTI International is joining @WHO & @USAID in celebrating the elimination of lymphatic filariasis as a public health problem in Bangladesh. Congrats to the Government of Bangladesh on this historic achievement, we’ve been proud to partner with you! https://t.co/8yULFZAKWY

Despite the narrative of abandonment, most husbands do not separate from women who develop fistula after childbirth. What factors are associated with couples staying together?

Sobering to consider the wide range of risks that can lead women to develop fistula. Trauma caused by traditional healers was a particular problem among Somali women.

Access to emergency obstetric care remains a clear challenge in some countries, while in others we see signals of obstetric fistula prevention.

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay and #IndigenousPeoplesDay. This unintended pairing makes us consider the enduring mental health consequences of our history, particularly the slaughter, forced movement, and marginalization of many indigenous people around the world.

Great article from @_danielle_carr. So often we work on solutions that don't get to the roots - and we avoid the political imperatives of true solutions. Well put. https://t.co/8nCwcVm6rK
