Gynaecologists Catherine and Reg Hamlin left Australia in 1959 on a
short contract to establish a midwifery school in Ethiopia. Over 40
years later, Catherine is still there, running one of the most
outstanding medical programmes in the world. The Hamlins dedicated
their lives to women suffering the catastrophic effects of
obstructed labour. The awful injuries that such labour produces are
called fistulae, and until the Hamlins began their work in
Ethiopia, fistula sufferers were neglected and forgotten - a vast
group of women facing a lifetime of incapacity and degradation.
Catherine and Reg, with their team of dedicated fistula surgeons,
have successfully operated on over 25,000 women, and the Addis
Ababa Fistula Hospital, the hospital they opened in 1974, has
become a major teaching institution for gynaecologists from all
over Ethiopia and the developing world. Since Reg's death,
Catherine and her team have continued the work.
