It is with deep sadness we share the news of the passing of Dr Catherine Hamlin, co-founder of Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia.
On Wednesday March 18th Catherine passed away peacefully at her home on the grounds of the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital in Ethiopia where she has lived for 61 years.
A heartfelt tribute to the memory of the remarkable Dr Catherine Hamlin. Her skill and compassion helping and healing the girls and women of Ethiopia for so many years is deeply admired. She and her late husband Reg trained young women their medical skills in the hospital by the river ~ a worthy legacy to the deserving young women of Ethiopia.

Catherine has been one of the most inspiring women in my life. She has been a true example to the world of the good that can be done if you follow your convictions.
Dr. Hamlin, your tireless kindness is an inspiration to me. May you rest in peace & find your eternal reward in heaven. You will be missed, but remembered in love.
I was sorry to hear about Miss Catherine. I have followed her and her husband’s work for a few years, read her book, and recognize what wonderful people they both were. Their lives are truly an example to be followed. I’m sure everyone there will miss her terribly.
Thank you so much for your work giving back dignity and health to do many women this way she had a huge effect on the society in Ethiopia she inspires me to continue working for women to prevent fistula RIP Veronika
Never have I met or witness a person with such devotion, dedication and love to her cause ! She will be greatly missed !! Especially the Ethiopians girls whom she help to be somebody !!! May her beautiful soul Rest In Peace 🙏
what a wonderful person she was…a saint and Christian woman who has earnt rest back with her beloved husband Reg..an amazing woman, who worked endlessly and tirelessly to improve the lives of the poor and damaged women of Ethiopia where medical intervention is not always available. She and her husband were selfless in their work, helping women who were scorned and abandoned by most in their society and country. Her wonderful book will have you in awe of her and Regs lives…and make you both glad and proud to be Australian, and so grateful for our obstetric care. I will be forever in awe of both of them, humanitarians in every sense of the word. Sleep tight and rest in peace Catherine with your husband in the presence of God..Ethiopia and the world were a better place with you in them ❤️
