Dr Catherine Hamlin’s journey was one of passion, determination and selflessness. She dedicated her life to the women of Ethiopia, working tirelessly for decades to improve maternal health care across the country and to give women love, hope and the opportunity to regain their lives.

No other woman, or man, has done as much to eradicate this preventable, crippling condition and give these women back their lives.

Dr Catherine Hamlin’s vision was to eradicate obstetric fistula forever.
