Founded in 1995 on the principle that ensuring the health of mothers leads to healthier communities, we provide surgical care and build sustainable programs to train the next generation of doctors. Since 2009, our work has been based in Mbarara, in southwestern Uganda, with a focus on treating obstetric fistula and other pelvic floor disorders resulting from childbirth injuries. An estimated 200,000 Ugandan women suffer from obstetric fistula, which causes chronic incontinence that can lead to infections, kidney disorders, as well as social isolation and stigmatization. Fistula and pelvic floor disorders affect the poorest and most powerless in society and though most can be cured with surgery, a vast gap exists between the number of women needing care and the number of skilled health workers able to provide it. The ultimate goal In September 2023, Medicine for Humanity (MFH) in concert with Mbarara University of Science & Technology (MUST) department of Obstetrics & Gynecology conducted a surgical program for the treatment of obstetrical fistula and pelvic floor disorders (PFD) in Mbarara, Uganda. Our team of 13 medical volunteers in concert with the dedicated MUST faculty triaged over 85 patients and ultimately performed 56 surgical obstetrical fistula and pelvic floor disorder procedures.In addition to the clinical service, some highlights include: The procurement, organization, and hand carry delivery of over 800 pounds of surgical equipment and supplies by the MFH team to Uganda. A vigorous bidirectional educational exchange between the Ugandan and American based trainees and faculty. Support and training for the burgeoning Urogynecology Leadership Fellowship which is now in sponsorship of its 2nd trainee. Continuation of the training of MUST nursing in the peri-operative arena which includes surgical scrub support which is not a routine part of the host surgical support. 19737 Medicine for Humanitys (MfH) Urogynecology Leadership Fellowship continues as the 2nd program of its kind in East Africa. The Urogynecology Fellowship is designated as a formal part of the postgraduate medical education curriculum at Mbarara University of Science & Technology (MUST). -Our second Fellow, Dr. Onesmus Byamukama, is in his second year of support and training in Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery. -MfH funded Dr. Byamukamas travel and participation in the 48th Annual International Urogynecology Association (IUGA) Conference at the World Forum Centre in the Hague, Netherlands in June 2023. Dr. Byamukama was selected to present his abstract on Rising Trends of Iatrogenic Female Genitourinary Fistulae in Uganda. 14477 34214 Christopher Tarnay President 10.00 0 Jeffrey Baker Director 2.00 0 Susan Lagasse Director 1.00 0 Lisa Nicholas Director 1.00 0 Shelley O'Connor Executive Dir. 30.00 22000 Aviva Regev Director 1.00 0 Musa Kayondo Director 1.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false CA Shelley O'Connor 23823 Malibu Road Ste 50-299 Malibu CA 90265 3104892197 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 48121 51483 66817 48566 119671 334658 0 0 0 0 48121 51483 66817 48566 119671 334658 0 0 334658 0 0 0 0 48121 51483 66817 48566 119671 334658 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Annual Fundraiser 109933 109933 26244 Other 5100 5100 115033 115033 26244 26244 88789 Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $1967 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $604 Other Expenses.1 program exprneses $34214 Other Expenses.2 BANK CHARGES $3995 Other Expenses.3 telephone $1219 Other Expenses.4 Dues and Subscriptions $559 Other Expenses.5 MEALS & ENTERTAINMENT $492 Other Expenses.7 Licenses and permits $274
