Restoring Dignity Through Compassionate Surgical Care.

For every woman admitted with obstetric fistula or a childbirth injury, healing begins long before the operation and continues well beyond the operating theatre.

At WADADIA Habibat Mother and Child Hospital, reconstructive surgeries are ongoing as part of WADADIA’s HER Dignity Programme, giving women affected by obstetric fistula and childbirth injuries the opportunity to reclaim their health, dignity, and quality of life.

Leading the surgical team is Resident Surgeon Dr. Sudi Mohamed, whose dedication and patient-centred approach have become a source of comfort for many women seeking treatment. Beyond performing complex reconstructive surgeries, Dr. Sudi spends time with every patient during daily ward rounds—checking on their progress, answering questions, reinforcing post-repair instructions, and encouraging them throughout their recovery.

His calm presence and genuine concern help build trust, reminding each woman that she is seen, heard, and cared for.

Healing at WADADIA extends beyond the operating theatre.

The organisation’s psychosocial support team walks alongside every patient, offering individual counselling and group sessions that help women process years of pain, stigma, and isolation while preparing them for life after surgery.

This holistic model reflects the vision of Founder and Lead Director Habiba Mohamed, who has consistently championed the integration of mental health and psychosocial support into reproductive healthcare. Under her leadership, WADADIA continues to demonstrate that restoring dignity requires caring for both the body and the mind.

These surgeries are made possible through the enduring partnership between WADADIA and Fistula Foundation, whose unwavering support continues to expand access to free, high-quality surgical care for women living with obstetric fistula and childbirth injuries.

Together, this partnership is helping ensure that more women receive the treatment, compassion, and support they deserve.

Because every successful repair is more than a medical procedure—it is a woman returning home with renewed confidence, restored dignity, and hope for the future.

💙 Healing is possible. Dignity can be restored. And together, we are ensuring that no woman is left behind.
