Naw Mu is a 16-year-old girl from Burma who developed a vesicovaginal fistula after a prolonged obstructed labor.
Now, instead of enjoying her youth, getting an education, working, and planning a family, Naw Mu is in constant pain, confined to a wheelchair, and rapidly losing weight. She cannot control her bladder, and relies on her family and husband for nearly everything.

Naw Mu received treatment for a fistula she developed after childbirth.
Naw Mu received healthcare. But unfortunately, her surgeon discovered during treatment that the damage from her fistula was too severe to be fully repaired by surgical repair.
Her doctors did the most they could to give her the best outcome possible.
