It’s something I’ve seen many times since. In 2008, MSF organized a fistula camp in Dubié, South Kivu Province, in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Among those who came were Michèle, 16, and Josine, 19. They had similar stories: early pregnancy, three days of obstructed labor at home, far from the closest available medical facilities. Their babies had died and they had both developed fistulas. Soon after, their husbands spurned them.
