Dr Catherine Hamlin AC

Executive Director and co-founder of the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital, has been given the highest Australian award. She was made a companion of Australia in 1995.

The Fistula Hospital of Addis Ababa, is the only hospital in the world
that specialises in Fistula surgery.
It has a success rate of 93%.
Almost 1,200 patients are operated on each year.

For the year 2005, we feel that the best area to support would be to donate direct towards the actual care of women with obstetric fistulae.
It cost the Hospital about US$475 (UK£250 - €355) per patient to operate, feed, nurse and often pay her way home.
