Breaking the Silence on Obstetric Fistula - Ted Talk by Brenda Msangi

In a nation with over 8119 health facilities and more than 28 million women, according to Tanzania’s National Bureau of Statistics data, Brenda Msangi, CEO of CCBRT emerged with sterling insights to improve high-quality women health delivery in Tanzania. Ms. Msangi, who has dedicated her life in strengthening healthcare services for underprivileged communities, centered her idea on improving maternal services to rural communities, delivering a heartfelt speech, backed up by data and facts swaying any potential stakeholder in the audience. Currently, the health sector has taken significant improvement initiatives and provided hope to communities in accessing care from dispensaries which account for 86.2 percent of facilities in Mainland Tanzania. Ms. Msangi’s TEDx talk was the first-ever to occur on the TEDx Oysterbay stage since its inception. It is compelling to conceive the flow of good tidings in the health sector, attracted by such vibrant ideas. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
