My First Day at Hamlin Hospital

My time at Hamlin Hospital began with a visit to the maternity ward, where I would be spending the next 2-3 days.


The ladies here have all been to Hamlin before.  They all have had fistulas from previous pregnancies and have returned to ensure they have a safe and healthy labor, with emergency care at the ready if needed.


All the women who come to Hamlin are asked to to return if they become pregnant again, as they are more susceptible to a recurrence of fistulas.


I get the sense from the smiles that greet me, that they feel safe and happy to be back.
