The Gender Role in health care.

In our country the differences between men and women are becoming smaller, but if we analyze the situation in some areas, differences still exist.
If we speak of the role of gender in the health care we can say that more doctors are male, because the medicine is an area of health that requires many years of study and perseverance, also entered the woman socially to study this kind of career for a very short time. Women are usually more likely to interrupt their studies because of pregnancy or take the desicion to start a family for 7 or more years of study it takes to race. Usually women go in shorter races such as nursing, nutrition or midwife. the most important reason is given by the society and our culture from many years ago set these parameters.The responsibilities of health professionals in hospitals depend on the charges incurred, today both men and women are being directors of hospitals. In recent years we have seen women being ministers of health. This shows which, despite the slow changes in our society in this area, little by little the difference between men and women in employment is lower.
Currently any health career admits both men and women alike, and the number of men in careers such as midwifery, nutrition and nursing has increased.
Despite all the changes in recent years, the difference between salaries for men and women is still a lot, because a woman doing the same job as a man in any profession in the area of health, takes a lower salary. This is because women are more likely to interrupt their working hours because of responsibilities of home and family.
In hospitals health professionals have been granted certain female patients, because men tend to visit very soon to the doctor, because the men when apdecen disease reach the hospital when the disease is well advanced. The men do not attend health checks, because it is in their culture.
The type of patients also depend on the area of health, is how a midwife attend to women preferably.
Both men and women can develop professionally, because they acted no discrimination by sex.The opportunities for higher education or more depends only on the intellect of each person.
This is why women occupy high posts, and are becoming more professional in what they do.
