The urogynecology program, which is a joint subspecialty fellowship among Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia, Worldwide Fistula Fund and Mekelle University College of Health Sciences, consists of three consecutive years of urogynecology training designed to provide the fellows with ever-increasing patient care responsibilities and to achieve full competence in all aspects of diagnosis and management of women with conditions that fall within the limits of urogynecology and female urology. It is the first of its kind in Ethiopia and is accredited through Mekelle University.

Urogynecology, also known as Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, is a specialty focused on the care of women with pelvic floor dysfunction such as incontinence (urinary and fecal leakage), prolapse (bulging or falling of the vaginal tissues), and pelvic pain.
