The private partnership is requested for more effectiveness in the action against the problem of public health.

On Monday, a meeting took place at the United Nations Funds for population (UNFPA), bringing together the representatives of various West Africa and power station offices. The objective was to establish a partnership with the deprived to fight against Obstetrical Fistula in Africa.

Approximately, two to three girls and woman suffer from it in the developing countries. Since 2010, approximately 360 women were relieved of it in Cameroon. But the disease is not regarded as a public health concern in the country, according to the Pr. Mbu, Director of family Health at the ministry of the Public health.

It is a pathology due to a complication which occurs during a prolonged childbirth, without medical care and which is completed by the creation of an abnormal opening which lets passing of urines and/or the saddles by female genital ways, continuously involuntary.

The girls of underprivileged social layer are the most exposed. Private partnership is requested because the UNFPA wants to mobilize all energies on significant and delicate subjects which relate to maternal health.
