Two of our board members, Anne-Marie and Charles Mueller, M.D., recently returned from a trip to Liberia. While there, they traveled to Gbarnga to visit the Phebe Rehab Center. There are no fistula survivors there at this time, but more women and girls are expected in early November, as they are scheduled for fistula repair surgery.
