<p><strong>Founders</strong></p> <p>Drs Catherine and Reg Hamlin were pioneering obstetrician-gynaecologists who went to Ethiopia over 65 years ago to train midwives. Catherine was Australian and Reg originally from New Zealand. On arrival to Ethiopia, their attention soon turned to the plight of the obstetric fistula patients. Together, the Hamlins perfected the modern technique for obstetric fistula surgery and set up a network of hospitals in Ethiopia (Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia) to help these women. So far, Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia has helped more than 70,000 women. They lived and worked at Hamlin’s Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital until Reg passed away in 1993 (age 85), and Catherine in 2020 (age 96). Catherine was twice-nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. She was also awarded an Ethiopian citizenship by the late PM Meles Zenawi. </p> </div></div></div> </div> </div></div></div> <div class="gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-07f69a0f"><div class="gb-container gb-container-07f69a0f shadow-lg"><div class="gb-inside-container"> <div class="gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-3cdc2e1f"> <div class="gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-c35d943c"><div class="gb-container gb-container-c35d943c"><div class="gb-inside-container"> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" width="361" height="369" alt="" data-srcset="https://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/mengistu-cropped.jpg 361w, https://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/mengistu-cropped-293x300.jpg 293w" data-src="http://hamlinfistula.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/mengistu-cropped.jpg" data-sizes="(max-width: 361px) 100vw, 361px" class="wp-image-1792 lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%200%200'%3E%3C/svg%3E" /></figure></div> </div></div></div> <div class="gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-46d0f808"><div class="gb-container gb-container-46d0f808"><div class="gb-inside-container"> <h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Dr Mengistu Asnake</strong></h4> <p><strong>Chair</strong></p> <p>Dr Mengistu has a medical degree from Gondar College of Medical Sciences and a Master’s in Public Health from Addis Ababa University.
