Global Outreach for Women

Marita Eisenmann-Klein, M.D., is the chairperson of IPRAF (International Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Foundation). In 2008, Dr. Eisenmann-Klein started Women for Women to provide to female victims of physical abuse international medical and surgical care that they would not otherwise have access to within their local communities. In various parts of the world, many women suffer from disfiguring and socially excluding injuries and trauma that are often inflicted on them as a result of their ethnic background, social traditions, or typical environmental conditions surrounding them.

I met with Dr. Eisenmann-Klein to discuss upcoming mission work in Nepal and Pakistan later this year.
