Na the new strategy to advertise your market abi, konji starved guys come see, soup is ready for licking.

It was 2013, our car had just arrived Jos metropolis and we were greeted by the stinging cold that the capital of Plateau State is famous for. One would wonder that of all times I would have chosen to come to Jos unprepared - without a sweater twice the thickness of my duvet, I chose to make my entry that cold November evening. Maybe that was quite silly of me but I had to be in Jos that day and that time. You see, a relative of mine came from the village and "small Doctor" as I was fondly called then was suppose to take her to Evangel hospital (also called Jan Kwano or Bingham University Teaching Hospital) Jos. This is an "Emergency" was the assessment my 200L mind could make and my plan was for her to be in Jos as soon as possible. Alas, she had Obstetric Fistula also called Vesico-Vaginal Fistula (VVF).

VVF is a surgical condition that causes a hole between the vagina and rectum or bladder of a woman. It occurs after a prolong obstructed labour in places where access to Caesarean Section are not readily available. It is caused when the baby is badly positioned, when the pelvis of the woman is too small or when the head of the baby is too big. It will interest is to know that while VVF is virtually absent in the Europe and America, it is commonly associated with poverty, lack of quality health care access, child marriage or early child bearing - hence its prevalence in Africa with Nigeria taking a lion share of it's burden.


The paradox in my story is that when I finally got to Evangel Hospital- I wasn't shivering again, neither was I cold anymore. I had been gutted with a fire of wonder and anger over the plight of several women who just like my patient have lived with the agony of VVF, this realisation stole the cold in me. Many of these women have had to live with VVF for decades, their stories were blood cuddling. I spent the better part of that night crying in my heart. These women have been isolated and treated like lepers by their spouse and family, most of them whilst still grieving the death of their babies that departed this world before their first cry. VVF leaves its patients with inability to control flow of urine or faeces, with this comes the well storied characteristic smell, isolation, rejection by family or spouse (sometimes), depression and suicidal thoughts usually ensues. If nothing is done to assuage their plights, these women come down with infection or failed kidneys.

Come May 23rd 2017, Nigeria will join the rest of the world in marking "The International Day to End Obstetric Fistula". This is an annual practice we have kept since its announcement by the United Nations in 2012. Though some things have been done since then, we are no where near where we need to be. Nigeria is still the unfortunate leaders in some of the worlds poor health care indicators - VVF inclusive. Out of the estimated 2 million people living with VVF worldwide, Nigeria is home to about 120 thousand of them with 12 thousand new cases diagnosed yearly. The horrifying reality is that only 5 thousand of these persons have access to treatment. These startling facts must be put to an end and there is no better time than now for YOU to instigate a demonstrable will to see this campaign to an end.

You can start by being part of campaigns like outreaches or among the many people who will raise awareness of this condition online by bringing to the consciousness of the government the need to upgrade the existing emergency Obstetric centres nationwide. Little as this may look, it will go a long way in reducing some of these appalling health care indexes. By talking about the scourge called VVF, we can get to educate ourselves as any of us can then identify and bring succour to that depressed young woman with VVF by just telling her the condition is treatable- free of charge in some centres nationwide. Help in this advocacy to disseminate information about obstetrics fistula and maternal care, join the the campaign for a better funding of the available centres we already have and be part of those educating and discouraging in it's entirety, the practice of child marriage. Little efforts as these will ensure our mothers and sisters don't have to face this leprous scourge in the act of bringing forth new life.

Allow yourself to brood over it for a while, but don't go overboard. Then find a productive activity you can divert all the negative energy too. Overall, stay happy, everything happens for good. Best wishes ma'am.
