The Catherine Hamlin Fistula Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to eradicating obstetric fistula, primarily through a network of care in Ethiopia that includes the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital, regional fistula hospitals, rehabilitation and midwifery training facilities, and a broad footprint of midwifery clinics in rural areas. Its work centers on preventing and treating childbirth injuries, with a focus on improving maternal health outcomes and expanding access to skilled birth attendants for women in need. Based in Sydney, Australia, the foundation operates across Ethiopia and engages in partnerships to strengthen maternity care, education, and recovery services for former patients through programs like vocational training and women’s empowerment. The organization has a history extending over six decades, rooted in the efforts of Australian pioneers Dr. Catherine Hamlin and Dr. Reg Hamlin, and continues to collaborate internationally through academic and professional partnerships. A recent development highlighted in its public updates includes leadership changes and new collaborative partnerships aimed at advancing midwifery education and obstetric care in Ethiopia.
