Throughout Africa,
millions of women do not have access to adequate medical care.
With the International
Organization for Women and Development (IOWD), Dr. Scott Eder has traveled
to Niger, West Africa for the last three years to volunteer his medical
expertise and service to the women in Niger. The
International Organization for Women and Development, Inc. (IOWD) is
committed to working with the Nigerien people in creating a self
sustaining program that addresses the repair and rehabilitation of the
fistula women in this West African country. On his three
trips to Niger, Dr. Eder provided medical education to the doctors and
nurses there as well as obstetrical and gynecological care to many women
in need.
