BLOG 5: GENDER ROLE IN HEALTH CARE

This time I will talk about the role of gender in health care and the difference between men and women in labor.

In my opinion today the differences in the working area of health are not so notorious as they were some years ago, in which only one saw them to be employed to the men, for example in the area of medicine, and women are obviated in this profession because it was frowned upon to work because there was not valued his aptitude to realize it and are encased in their role as housewife.

Today, the women have gained protagonism in the labor that they realize in the attention of the health. Following the example of the career of medicine, although it is made predominantly by men, the women have managed to accede to this profession, to receive the same learning, to study in equality of conditions and to obtain the same recognitions that the men receive.

However, despite performing the same profession and having the same capacity to exercise it, it looks more often than men receive higher salary than women. The same applies to the charges to them by men often exercised most important positions in the Health care facilities to women, is very rare to see a woman doctor is the director of a hospital.

If you have seen a remarkable difference in how patients react to being treated by doctors since ancient times, as I mentioned earlier, knowledge is not valued and did not believe they could do their work as doctors or equal better than a man in this area. Today it is very rare to see a user refuses to be served by a woman doctor, is a clear example that gender differences are decreasing slowly over the years.
