Challenges

• Long distances to service points
• Perceived low quality of care
• Drug availability issues

• Train community health workers to deliver health education and basic care at the household level
• Strengthen linkages between communities and the formal health system to facilitate timely referrals and continuity of care
• Engage community leaders and structures to promote health-seeking behaviors and preventive practices
• Conduct targeted campaigns to raise awareness about fistula prevention and treatment
