Unveiling the obstacles encountered by women physicians in the Pakistani healthcare system.

A recent webinar organized by the Pakistan Medical Association discussed the obstacles faced by women physicians in the Pakistani healthcare system. The speakers highlighted the lack of representation of women in healthcare research, leading to a lack of tailored treatments for women-specific conditions and potential misdiagnosis in gender-neutral conditions. Female doctors in Pakistan face challenges such as gender bias, limited career opportunities, and difficulties in maintaining work-life balance. Initiatives like the Women in Medicine program and advocacy efforts by organizations like the Pakistan Medical Association aim to promote inclusivity and gender equality in the healthcare system. Indigenous research, guided by the 4-Rs framework, is also important in addressing local health concerns. [Extracted from the article]
