Niger State Governor’s Wife, Dr Amina Sani Bello has come to the rescue of women suffering from Vesico Vaginal Fistula (VVF) in Nigeria. She has opened a VVF camp in Bida town where about 30 women are undergoing corrective surgery at the expense of her NGO – RAISE foundation.

Her Excellency explained why some Nigerian women are affected by VVF… “Prolonged labour is one of the main causes of VVF; prolonged labour is the major cause of VVF and instead of going to the Primary Health Care centres close to them, they try to deliver at home, which leads to complications. Eventually, when they are taken to the hospital, they might have lost the child and then developed the condition.”
