'A new clinic opens at the Royal Women's Hospital this week, providing services to reverse acts of female circumcision.

A landmark de-infibulation clinic opens at the Royal Women's Hospital this Friday.

The clinic provides a discreet half-day procedure to reverse female circumcision - commonly known as Female Genital Mutilation - or just simply FGM.

Richelle Hunt takes an exclusive tour through the facility just as it prepares to open for service, speaking to Dr Khai Mohhammed-Noor, who is responsible for developing this Australian-first service.

For more information about this service, call the Women's Health Information Centre on 8345 3037 and ask to be referred to the FARREP Program.'
