The project manager of the USAID Fistula care plus project, Dr.
Habibu Sadauki, has disclosed that Kano State records over 12,000 cases
of fistula every year.
Dr. Sadauki told reporters in Kano on Thursday that over 5,000 cases
have been repaired while the fundamental cause of VVF is prolonged child
labour, early pregnancy and culture, poverty and illiteracy among the
communities and this is prevalent mostly in northern part of the
country.
