Event On Fistulas May 12th, 2011



“Walking Back to Happiness: The Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital


Our next event will address fistulas-a devastating complication of pregnancy and rape-too common in developing countries. We are excited to welcome Dr. Joyce Pickering Associate Dean Medical Education and Student Affairs, Faculty of Medicine Mcgill University, previously Director of the International Health Office Mcgill (2002-2003) and past Director of the Ethiopia Mcgill Community Health Project (1988-1992).


All funds raised from this meeting will be donated to the Canadian Network for International Surgery, an organization that promotes the delivery of essential surgical and obstetric care to the underprivileged in Africa.

In recognition of Mother’s Day we are also asking for beauty/hygiene supplies or sweet treats to be donated to Chez Doris-a wonderful women’s shelter which serves women and children in crisis in Montreal. Hopefully we can sweeten the lives of mothers and let them know they are not forgotten!
