Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Summary
The Physician Education for Fistula Treatment Act authorizes the U.S. President, through the Fogarty International Center, to support fellowship, residency and training‑center programs that teach obstetrician‑gynecologists and urogynecologists in least‑developed nations. It aims to increase the number of doctors able to prevent and surgically treat obstetric fistula, a severe childbirth injury that affects hundreds of thousands of women. By building local expertise, the bill seeks to improve health outcomes and reduce the social and economic harms caused by the condition.
