 Dr. Sayeba Akhter is a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University. She has been working in the area of fistula for over 20 years.
With her help, the comprehensive national fistula programme in Bangladesh has been gaining momentum since 2003. Dr. Akhter believes that the key to preventing new fistula cases is to continue mapping out the magnitude of the existing problem and then to develop a national, regional and global strategy for prevention, treatment and reintegration. In her words... "Every successful fistula surgery moves me deeply and renders a lot of joy and pleasure. It is a signal of hope; the fistula is fully curable by operations." |
