In 2005, Ghana’s Health Minister contacted Dr. Lisa Masterson at the same time she was considering starting a charity. Armed with medical supplies, a team consisting of Stephen and Dr. Lisa Masterson, their son, Daniel, and a nurse departed for Ghana where they performed complicated gynecologic surgeries and other procedures without air-conditioning, or modern medical equipment. The needs were tremendous, but Dr. Lisa faced these challenges one mother at a time, and Maternal Fetal Care International was born.
