All-women fistula clinic treats Afghans for free
The female-run Malalai fistula clinic in Kabul, Afghanistan provides free treatment to women suffering from Fistula, a condition wherein they leak excretory matter due to a hole between their bladder or rectum and vagina. Fistula, which affects an estimated 3,000 Afghan women, can be caused by a difficult childbirth and trauma from prolonged infections.
