A new lease on life after a surgery gone bad

Namulondo is a 41-year-old mother of 3 children. Four years ago, Namulondo started having problems with her uterus and needed an operation. Five days after her operation, she started leaking urine and immediately told the nurses in the ward.

After investigation, they found that her bladder was accidentally torn during surgery. The physicians sent her back in to surgery but they did not manage to repair the damage. Namulondo was devastated. In doing her community work, Namulondo came across a woman who had been repaired at a Uganda Village Project (UVP) fistula repair camp and immediately contacted the UVP coordinator.

Namulondo was repaired at the camp and is extremely grateful: “I have had this condition for almost four years; it a miracle that I have been repaired and I am no longer leaking urine. I am very happy for the services you [UVP] provide and the good work you do. Thank you for you support!”

Thanks to you, Holly, Namulondo has a new lease on life.
