Utah surgeons travel to Ouelessebougou annually to perform OB/GYN surgeries for women who cannot afford this critical care. This year, there will be two groups of volunteers who will perform more than 40 of these much needed surgeries. They address vaginal fistulas, pelvic inflammatory disease and many other issues for which treatment is not otherwise available. In addition to surgery, this team spent time in villages, modeling health care and reinforcing villager support for the Alliance’s volunteer village health agents.
