On the recordJuly 23, 2003
there are currently 35 hospitals in the aforementioned countries that have the capacity to conduct fistula repair surgery, but are without the financial resources. The Hamlin Fistula Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, which has successfully performed fistula repairs since 1974, is the only known medical establishment focusing solely on fistula repair and has long been regarded as a model center for those involved in such care. I would encourage USAID to follow the letter of the committee's language and initiate programs in the most heavily affected areas, which would include the aforementioned nine sub-Saharan countries and Ethiopia, in addition to Sierra Leone.
