Incontinence, prolapse, pain: for many women, these conditions remain hidden due to a lack of appropriate care.
In Bamyan province, Afghanistan, the mountains and weather conditions make access to healthcare particularly difficult — especially for women during and after pregnancy.
To improve the management of pelvic health conditions, the MSF Foundation, in collaboration with MSF, has brought together midwives from several provinces across Afghanistan for a training programme combining obstetric practices and physiotherapy techniques. This enables them to better identify and manage these common, yet often neglected, troubles.
