On the centenary of her birth, the College wishes to acknowledge the incredible work of pioneering gynaecological surgeon Dr Catherine Hamlin, who spent more than half a century treating obstetric fistula in Ethiopia.

In 2001, Dr Hamlin delivered a lecture at College House about her work in Ethiopia, and we are delighted to now be able to share it with you.
