Prevent Fistula
This poster offers five ways of preventing fistula:
- Delay marriage until after 18 years of age
- Provide proper nutrition to girl children to ensure normal growth
- Get prenatal checks at least four times during pregnancy
- Give birth in a health facility
- Use family planning to avoid unintended pregnancy
At the bottom of the poster is a list of eight hospitals which offer obstetric fistula repair free of charge.
