India has become a hub for high quality Medical Treatment. The Indian healthcare system greatly contributes to the growing Indian economy and also employs a large number of people.
India is a home to some of the world's best low-cost medical treatments with high precision, world-class medical facilities, customized packages for individual treatment, extra care and immediate attention.
When we talk of medical field, especially Surgery, the impact is more visible. Nursing, midwifery and surgery is the domain where women found their place and later in Obst and Gynecology. Recently in an Annual meeting of Associations of Surgeons it was projected that for 25,000 surgeons there are only 700 women surgeons and of 12,700 members only 300 women are members of this society, a number too small to be reckoned at any forum.
In India, the social milieu is such that with its orthodox beliefs' women are discouraged to take up jobs where most of the time one is surrounded by male colleagues and the working hours sees no night and day. A woman professional has to contribute significantly to household cooking/ home & school management of her kids & elderly parents. The joint family system allows her only balanced independence to pursue her demanding career.
Surgery as elsewhere in the world is equally demanding here also, principally all working days at times amounting to more than 80 hours a week. Throughout history, there have been many women surgeons who have made significant contributions to the field.
