Applying a Holistic Approach to Fistula Care in Nigeria

The MOMENTUM Safe Surgery in Family Planning and Obstetrics project supports fistula prevention by enhancing provider capacity for high-quality obstetric surgeries, introducing quality improvement in obstetric care, and training primary health care workers and nurses in preventive catheterization for prolonged or obstructed labor management. In Nigeria, treatment involves surgical repair or non-surgical intervention (catheterization) at health facilities like National Obstetric Fistula Centers (NOFICs) or state-level vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) centers, or through organized surgical campaigns. A holistic fistula care approach addresses patients’ needs from prevention to rehabilitation and reintegration, ensuring they can access necessary services.

Introduction of the Safe Childbirth Checklist in Fragile Areas in Mali

The WHO Safe Childbirth Checklist (SCC) is a patient safety tool that consolidates essential birth practices to prevent the major causes of maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality. The tool has been implemented in the southern regions of Mali, with demonstrable results. To address maternal and newborn mortality in areas where MOMENTUM Integrated Health Resilience works, the SCC was implemented in 23 health facilities in the Gao district beginning in December 2022. Post-training follow-up found that 21 facilities used the tool on 1,298 out of 1,698 deliveries (76 percent). 95 percent of users reported that the tool was very useful in demonstrating that SCC use in fragile settings may be feasible and useful to help reduce maternal and newborn morbidity and mortality.
