The comments of Maggie Bangser, a founding director of the Women's Dignity Project (letter, July 18), in response to Nicholas D. Kristof's July 14 column about obstetric fistula, make the valid point that the ultimate solution to these catastrophic complications of childbirth is the creation of effective medical delivery systems that meet women's reproductive health care needs.
That is precisely the reason the Danja Fistula Center, built by the Worldwide Fistula Fund, has incorporated anthropological field research, prenatal care, public health outreach, case identification, and social rehabilitation and job skills programs into its comprehensive program for women with obstetric fistulas in Niger.
In impoverished countries, where governments struggle to provide even minimal public services, private-sector and nonprofit organizations may actually lead the way in developing effective programs that can be models for future development.
