This is very sad news to hear of the passing of Dr. Catherine Hamlin. She was an amazing, kind, giving woman. She and her husband Reg started and created this wonderful hospital where so many Ethiopian women were able to be looked after. 61 years of constant devotion to learning about the Fistula and providing so much joy to the women who had suffered so much. Blessed be Catherine and Reg. RIP
