Live online fistula training sessions

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic when face-to-face training and coaching came to a standstill, the project team introduced a series of online training sessions that have since become an integral part of FIGO’s Fistula Surgery Training Initiative.

Sessions take place between four to six times a year. Each session is live and is led by two FIGO trainers who first present a fistula-related topic, then answer questions and discuss with the audience. Currently only FIGO Fellows can attend the live sessions, but previous sessions can be accessed by interested individuals through the links below.

Note: please be aware that some of the training videos contain graphic images of fistula surgeries.
