Impact of a double catastrophe, war and Covid-19, on health service utilization of a tertiary care hospital in Tigray
The present study has clearly indicated that the war and COVID-19 have led to a large reduction in admissions, outpatient attendance, and emergency department visits. The evidence from this study suggests that due to this double catastrophe, thousands of patients could not gain access to healthcare, with probable negative consequences. Governments and organizations should implement measures to buttress the healthcare system to maintain pre-war st…

A Framework for Analyzing the Determinants of Obstetric Fistula Formation
Obstetric fistula, a devastating complication of prolonged obstructed labor, was once common in the Western world but now occurs almost exclusively in resource‐poor countries. Although much has been written about the surgical repair of obstetric fistulas, prevention of fistulas has garnered comparatively little attention. Because obstetric fistulas result from obstructed labor (one of the common causes of maternal death in impoverished countries)…

Did J. Marion Sims Deliberately Addict His First Fistula Patients to Opium
American surgeon J. Marion Sims (1813-83) is regarded by many modern authors as a controversial figure because he carried out a series of experimental surgeries on enslaved African American women between 1846 and 1849 in an attempt to cure them of vesicovaginal fistulas, which they had all developed as a result of prolonged obstructed labor. He operated on one woman, Anarcha Westcott, thirty times before he successfully closed her fistula. Sims p…

The volumes reviewed are well-made, pleasant to hold, bound in signatures, and printed on high-quality, acid-free paper meeting American National Standards for the permanence of paper for printed library materia…
Dead Mothers and Injured Wives
Northern Nigeria has a maternal mortality ratio greater than 1,000 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. Serious maternal morbidity (for example, vesico-vaginal fistula) is also common. Among the most important factors contributing to this tragic situation are: an Islamic culture that undervalues women; a perceived social need for women's reproductive capacities to be under strict male control; the practice of purdah (wife seclusion), which re…

Anuak Politics, Ecology, and the Origins of Shilluk Kingship
The cultural affinities between the Anuak and Shilluk peoples of the Upper Nile have been known for some time. The close relationship between their languages has been established beyond doubt (Westermann I912: 30-32; Tucker and Bryan I948: I2-I3, 23) and the historical traditions of both peoples tell of their common descent from two brothers who quarrelled and separated (Hofmayr I925: 62; Evans-Pritchard I94oa: 9; Crazzolara I950: 42-4). There ar…
