Abstract

This study found that 55.3% of women have a good awareness of obstetrics fistula. ANC follow-up history, abortion history, type of family planning, type of communication, number of pregnancies, availability of health facility, and distance of health facility were significantly associated with awareness of obstetric fistula. Hence, local and national efforts should be made to enhance access to information at home and basic maternal health services including antenatal care.
