Hamlin Fistula UK

Exclusively supporting the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital in Ethiopia

     

 

Recent Developments (1)

Contemporaneously with the opening of Desta Mender, plans were announced for the building of five Outreach Centres (mini-fistula hospitals), strategically placed around Ethiopia at Bahr Dar, Mekelle, Yirga Alem, Metu and Harrar.  Addis Ababa is too far away for many patients and this strategy would make the hospital's skills available to many more women.  At the time of writing, Metu and Harrar are in the process of being built.  Bahr Dar, Mekelle and Yirga Alem are fully operational.


Yirga Alem Centre

In addition to supporting the Addis Ababa hospital, Hamlin Fistula UK meet the annual running costs of Yirga Alem Centre.
