With the support of the Fistula Foundation and as part of its commitment to improving the quality and accessibility of healthcare, Be Team’s Cure Hospital has donated medical equipment valued at $25,000 to the fistula department at the regional hospital in Nangarhar Province.

After suffering for 13 years with an obstetric fistula and enduring immense physical and emotional pain, Sailo found hope through Cure Hospital’s fistula program. Thanks to the skilled care of Dr. Atia Sharif Nadi and her team, she made a full recovery and now enjoys a happy, healthy life with her children and mother.

Women suffering from a fistula are shunned by their families. The symptoms associated with a fistula cause those who are suffering to become sad, withdrawn and living a life of isolation. Be Team’s partnership with the Fistula Foundation lends a helping hand.

Seventy women from all thirty-four Afghan provinces participated in a two-day seminar to learn about fistula prevention and free treatment at Cure Hospital.

The team came across a 7-year-old girl named Safia who was suffering from a cleft lip and offered free surgery.
