Lewis Wall's Tears for My Sisters describes the ancient history of obstetric fistula, tracing it as far back as ancient Egypt. An expert in repairing obstetric fistula, Dr. Wall explains how these injuries occur and how Western medicine developed the technical capacity to overcome obstructed labor and repair fistulas. Arguing that obstetric fistula results from a general disregard for women's human rights and reproductive health around the globe, he lays bare the obstacles that poor women face in getting emergency obstetric care. Finally, he presents a solution to this problem based on the inspiring story of Drs. Reginald and Catherine Hamlin, who created a hospital system in Ethiopia to care for fistula patients, improve health care, and eradicate these injuries. 650 0 $a Labor (Obstetrics) $x Complications. 650 0 $a Fistula, Vesico-vaginal. 650 0 $a Surgery, Plastic. 650 0 $a Health services accessibility. 651 0 $a Africa. 650 12 $a Vaginal Fistula $x complications 650 22 $a Obstetric Labor Complications 650 22 $a Plastic Surgery Procedures 650 22 $a Maternal Health Services 650 22 $a Health Services Accessibility 650 22 $a Socioeconomic Factors 651 2 $a Africa 650 2 $a Vesicovaginal Fistula 650 6 $a Accouchement $x Complications et sequelles. 650 6 $a Fistules vesicovaginales. 650 6 $a Chirurgie plastique. 650 6 $a Services de sante $x Accessibilite. 651 6 $a Afrique. 650 7 $a Surgery, Plastic $2 fast 650 7 $a Health services accessibility $2 fast 650 7 $a Fistula, Vesico-vaginal $2 fast 650 7 $a Labor (Obstetrics) $x Complications $2 fast 651 7 $a Africa $2 fast 650 7 $a Accouchement $x Complications (medecine) $z Afrique. $0 (FrPBN)11930841 $0 (FrPBN)11930841 $2 ram 650 7 $a Fistules v©âsicovaginales $x Aspect social $z Afrique. $0 (FrPBN)11930841 $0 (FrPBN)11975691 $0 (FrPBN)11930841 $2 ram 650 7 $a H©þpitaux $x Services de gynecologie et maternite $z Afrique. $0 (FrPBN)11930841 $0 (FrPBN)11930841 $2 ram 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619011715.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=521C3596CD6211EE9507C16149ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
