Ethiopia has some of highest maternal and infant death rates in the world. On average, 670 mothers will die from birth for every 100,000. Women often face serious birth injuries, including obstetric fistula, which leaves women incontinent and in public shame.  To promote a sustainable source of reproductive health care, The Hamlin Fistula hospital has combined forces with the Ethiopian government and has implemented a new school of midwifery called, The Hamlin College of Midwifery.
