Gender Role in Health Care

Today I will talk about the prejudices that affect both, men and women, and that cause so many differences between genders.
One of the examples that I can talk about is my career. Today, more and more men are integrated into this career, this lets us to see how to change the prejudices, because this career was purely feminine. I think this is fine, because it delivers diversity to the career and a different view. Also I think that little by little the difference between women and men that work in the midwifery will be reduced and will be equal.

Respect to responsibility, both genders have the same responsibilities in health, and therefore should have the same salary, although today is not so.
In this career, perhaps the users prefer to be attended for a midwife (female) than for a midwife (male), because the user can feel more comfortable with a woman than with a man, or simply she thinks that midwives (female) can be put in place as a woman.

Compared with others countries, the gender issues among health workers, are similar with Chile, althought always exist problems gender, but this has been reduced over the years.
In general, I think that they should open our minds, and ignore those prejudices that do not help at all, and appreciate to a professional for their quality and competences, not that it is male or female.

    I liked what you wrote, I also believe that prejudice is very bad, and it's good that we move increasingly to equal treatment between men and women...

    I think you have much reason men may have a point of view of pregnancy, delivery and postpartum different from ours which is good because it gives more diversity to the attention of the woman and baby.
    See you! :D
