Stephanie Linus Sponsors 15 Women For Free VVF Surgery in Kwara
As part of her campaign against Vesico Vagina Fistula (VVF), Stephanie Linus's foundation, Extended Hands, has sponsored 15 women in Ilorin, Kwara State for free repair surgeries to women.
The foundation, in collaboration with Diamond Bank Plc, recently provided the surgeries to women living with VVF at the Kwara Specialist Hospital, Ilorin. The women all had successful surgeries and were nursed back to health at the hospital.
VVF has proven to be a serious health condition which affects women, mostly after childbirth. They are holes resulting from the breakdown in the tissue between the vaginal wall and the bladder or rectum caused by unrelieved obstructed labour.
The consequence of such damage is a woman's inability to control the flow of urine or faeces and occurs more often in young girls who are too young for child-bearing, as their bodies are not yet mature for the process.
The pool effort was lauded by the First Lady of Kwara State, Omolewa Ahmed, who received Stephanie Linus and her team from Extended Hands Foundation as well as the Diamond Bank team at the State House in Ilorin. She commended their efforts and pledged her support to the eradication of VVF in Kwara State.
The State Commissioner for Health Kayode Issah, also received the team during their stay in Ilorin, commending them as well for their efforts.
The foundation, with the support of well-meaning corporate organisations, continues to extend efforts to women with VVF across other states in the country.
