Comprehensive obstetric and gynecologic Care

While obstetric fistula is one of the most devastating childbirth injuries, it is only part of a much larger care gap.


Women require access to safe delivery, emergency obstetric surgery, gynecologic cancer treatment, and complex reconstructive care. When any part of that system fails, preventable injury follows.


Through our partnerships, hospitals provide comprehensive obstetric and gynecologic care, including:

  • Cesarean sections for obstructed and emergency labor
  • Safe, supervised vaginal deliveries
  • Cervical cancer and gynecologic oncology surgeries
  • Emergency obstetric procedures that save lives and prevent long-term injury


This full spectrum of care matters. The same operating theater that repairs fistula also performs lifesaving cesarean sections. The same surgeon trained in reconstruction prevents future injuries through safe surgical technique. Treatment and prevention are inseparable.


To reach women who cannot access referral hospitals, trained teams also conduct intensive surgical outreach camps.


In 2025, seven camps were supported, each treating approximately fifty women in a single week. In 2026, nine camps are planned, expanding access while maintaining the same high surgical standards.


These camps extend the reach of skilled teams, strengthen regional hospitals, and bring life-changing care closer to women who would otherwise go untreated.

Building Systems That Last

The Musa Project focuses on long-term solutions, not one-time interventions.


Sustainable change requires more than funding operations. It requires trained specialists, reliable infrastructure, institutional leadership, and ongoing mentorship.


We invest in systems that make safe childbirth and expert surgical care consistently available:


  • Training surgeons in advanced pelvic and obstetric surgery
     
  • Expanding and equipping dedicated gynecological wards
     
  • Strengthening operating theaters and anesthesia capacity
     
  • Supporting hospitals that deliver both treatment and prevention
     
  • Ensuring care is reliable, free, and locally led
     

By strengthening referral pathways, surgical supervision, and hospital capacity, we help reduce iatrogenic injuries while expanding access to timely intervention.


One successful surgery restores a woman’s life. Strong systems protect thousands more.


Restoring Health. Preventing Future Injury.

Addressing childbirth injuries requires both immediate treatment and long-term prevention.

When women receive timely, skilled surgical care, they are restored to health and dignity. When hospitals are strengthened, surgeons are trained, and systems are improved, fewer women are injured in the first place.

This dual commitment — treatment and prevention — defines The Musa Project’s approach.

By investing in local expertise, institutional capacity, and regional access, we are helping to build a future where safe childbirth is the norm and severe injury becomes increasingly rare.

Every expansion of capacity means more women treated this year.
Every improvement in training means fewer injuries next year.
Every strengthened hospital means lasting impact for generations.

By strengthening training, facilities, and access to care, we are expanding the number of women who can receive life-changing surgery each year. We are not simply funding procedures — we are building the capacity that makes healing possible at scale.

Expanding local training and hospital infrastructure ensures that this access continues long into the future. Each investment in capacity opens the door for more women to reclaim their health and move forward with renewed confidence.

Human Impact

For the women pictured here, access to specialized surgical care can mean the difference between years of isolation and a return to family, work, and community life. When care becomes possible, healing restores not only physical health, but confidence, connection, and hope for the future.
