Takura Kanonge, a local gynaecologist said Manicaland province had a prevalence rate of about 31.8% followed by Harare Metropolitan province with an estimate of 17, 5%. He made the remarks on the sidelines of a stakeholders’ dialogue hosted by Amnesty International Zimbabwe in conjunction with Women and Law in Southern Africa. Speaking to NewsDay, Kanonga said only one out of 50 women with the condition manages to get medical attention due to a failing health system. He said: > Unfortunately estimates are difficult to get in Zimbabwe because we have not done prevalence studies but what I can say is when we go on radio and television, we call out for women with fistula. We tend to have several, about 30 women who are calling in a day for help. > Of all the camps we conducted, we tend to have more women than we can accommodate at the camp. It shows this problem is prevalent. There are some groups of people in Zimbabwe who do not want to deliver babies at medical institutions. Most of them are members of apostolic sect churches. Several women and girls have died at church shrines while giving birth. *More Pindula News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
