Number of treatments according to the Global Fistula Map
The Global Fistula Map reports that between 2010 and 2013, only 60,280 women received fistula repair surgery; about 15,000 per year, on average. At roughly 15,000 surgeries completed each year, while one million women suffer, it is evident that for every single woman who receives treatment, at least 50 – likely more – go without.
