As of June 2007 IOWD surgeons and Dr. Abdoulaye Idrissa have perfomed well over 600 surgeries. With the assistance of dedicated IOWD and Nigerien nurses, Operating Room technicians, superb Nigerien Anesthesiologists and Anesthetists, fistula patients have had their health and their dignity restored!



Given the continued support of the Government of Niger, Dr. Ibrahim Sabou, Director of the National Hospital and the entire staff of the National Hospital, IOWD is pledged to return to Niger 4 times per year until more Nigerien surgeons are able to perform fistula surgery. With Dr. Abdoulaye Idrissa at the "helm" of this program in Niamey, we are confident that we will achieve this goal. Together, we are making a difference...

IOWD's first full mission took place in October 2003. As of May 2007, IOWD surgical teams have returned to Niger a total of 16 times. We have performed well over 600 surgeries and examined over 1200 women.
