ISOFS celebrated IDEOF 2024 worldwide in collaboration with scientific societies, community leaders, health decisions makers, and healthcare providers. It has been an opportunity for ISOFS to raise awareness on obstetric fistula under the theme of the year: “Breaking the cycle: Preventing fistula worldwide”.
At the invitation of the Director General of Focus Fistula, Prof. Igor Vaz, the president of ARENA, Dr. Itengre Ouedraogo took part in a campaign to treat women suffering from obstetric fistula and to train surgeons in restorative surgery for women with urogenital fistula at the central hospital in Beira, Mozambique.
Gynocare Womens and Fistula Hospital was established in 2009 after the director, Dr. Hillary Mabeya was called in to handle a troubling situation where a 19 month old female patient had been sexually assaulted by an unknown person. Initially the facility started off as an outpatient clinic but opened its doors to fistula surgery on the 19th June 2011.
This is an online registration for ISFOS membership. Regular membership is for fistula surgeons, associate membership for any professional involved with fistula treatment, prevention or rehabilitation.
