Why Holistic Care Matters for Women with Fistula

 

Healing obstetric fistula is not only about closing a wound—it is about restoring a life. While surgery can end the physical suffering over time, true recovery must reach deeper. Women living with fistula often carry years of trauma, isolation, and stigma. Without comprehensive support, the journey back to dignity and community remains incomplete.

 

That is why holistic fistula care has become essential. It goes beyond the operating room to care for the whole woman—body, mind, and spirit. Alongside expert surgical repair, holistic care includes:

• Psychosocial support to address trauma and rebuild self-worth.

• Spiritual encouragement for women who draw strength from faith.

• Nutritional care to prepare for surgery and recovery.

• Skills training to restore economic independence.

• Physiotherapy to help women regain bladder control and confidence in daily life.

Together, these supports transform survival into strength. Women who once felt invisible return home not only healed but empowered—able to work, raise families, and lead within their communities.

 

At Maternal Health Foundation, we believe that every woman deserves more than a procedure—she deserves a future. Holistic care ensures that healing is lasting, dignity is restored, and hope is renewed.

 

Your support makes this possible. By standing with us, you help women move from stigma to hope, and from isolation to thriving.
