WFF Fistula Center Project Needs

 

Imagine starting a new hospital from scratch in the world's poorest country! WFF needs additional funds to:

1.  Upgrade the CSL operating room to allow early phase fistula repairs to begin (approximately $60,000).

2.  Send surgical and training teams to Niger on an intermittent basis to begin fistula care as soon as the upgrade is complete.

3.  Build and equip the new WFF Fistula Center in Danja.  The construction costs will run just over $600,000, with an additional $250,000 needed for equipment and supplies .

4.  Operate the new hospital, providing free, life-changing care for the poorest of the poor.  The cost of fistula surgery is estimated at $450 per patient for all costs of care.

5.  Design and implement programs for the social reintegration and rehabilitation of our patients.

6. Establish the WFF Fistula Center as a site for an innovative program of fistula prevention The cost to implement a pilot  program in fistula prevention are estimated at $140,000.

7.  Begin clinical research to guide us in providing the safest, most efficient and effective VVF care possible for our patients.
