To give you all sense of some of the things Maggie Bangser and I talked about related to fistula prevention and some of the complexities therein - namely having trained health care workers in place to help laboring mothers, please read this article: "Alarm as 80,000 people depend on 7 trained health personnel"
Maggie says that this is standard for Tanzania and that one of the most important changes we can help bring about with our grantmaking is to help citizens report when their health posts are not staffed properly and to get their voices into the media as well. We are just starting to brainstorm together, but I am excited about the possibilities here.
