Fistula was a global problem, however it was eradicated in Europe and North America following the WHO estimates that approximately two million women have untreated obstetrics fistula with a worldwide incidence of 1-2 per 1000 deliveries [1]. In addition, they are often associated with various co-morbidities such as obstetric palsy, foot drop, renal failure, osteitis pubis, infertility, vaginal stenosis and pelvic inflammatory disease furthermore, obstetric fistula mostly affects poor women, many affected women have other complications and are subjected to social discrimination and abandonment [2].<br/><br/>Method: A qualitative study using focus group discussion for all adult at Ilemela district particularly at Pansiasi and Buswelu to explore and gain deeper understanding of their awareness of existence, causes, risk factor and attitude about the obstetric fistula.
