Women for Women

Introduction

In various parts of the world female patients suffer from disfiguring and socially excluding sequalae of trauma that often occurs out of ethnical or social traditions or typical environmental conditions that women in several countries are subjected to.

Women for Women...

Is a charity programme that aims to supply help by female surgeons for these female patients in mostly third world countries. It is currently being developed by the President of IPRAS, the International Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, Marita Eisenmann-Klein, MD and the Chairperson of Quality Assurance of IPRAF, the International Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Foundation, Constance Neuhann-Lorenz, MD.

Background

Often these patients may not present themselves to medical institutions for treatment with respect to local tradition and social structures. Also these treatments or therapies often demand lengthy and expensive procedures that cannot easily be provided everywhere. The intent of the Women for Women programme is for patients to be treated in their countries by international women surgeons in local hospitals and medical units in cooperation with local surgeons and medical staff in close interaction with the national plastic surgical societies.

The projected programme intends to encourage those female patients to undergo treatment with a woman surgeon.

The programme also intends to link with existing help projects if present, for such patients to boost the effects of those other organizations and vice versa.

By no means is the intent of the programme to follow feministic ideology. It exclusively serves to express solidarity from women being able to provide medical help to women patients who, because of their social environment, have less chances for therapy than male patients.
