PROGRAM: Fistula Care

REPORTS TO: Study Manager, RCT Manager

We do this by sharing our expertise in sexual and reproductive health and transforming the quality of health care.

Working in partnership with local organizations, we adapt our work in response to local needs.

It is routine practice for women to have an indwelling bladder catheter after fistula repair surgery, however scientific evidence on the optimal duration of catheterization is limited. Fistula Care, a project of EngenderHealth, in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) is about to embark on a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine whether short-term (7 day) catheterization is either equivalent to, or no worse than, longer-term (14 day) catheterization in terms of successful fistula closure. Shorter-term catheterization would have important implications for service delivery: it would reduce hospital stays for women, free bed space at facilities, reduce costs, allow for a greater number of patients to receive clinical care, and potentially reduce the probability of healthcare-associated infections following surgery.
