Women Surgeons on their way to Revolutionize Surgical Care

Like any other profession, Healthcare sector too has been dominated by men for centuries and more. However, women of 21st-century with their consistent and steady efforts have entered and exceled not only in surgery but also in every profession they have opted for. The best testimony to the above facts is Anandi Gopal Joshi, India’s first female Physician, who has finished her degree in Western medicine in the late 19th-century. Since then there is no looking back and women around the country have slowly but steadily made their presence felt in this sector.

Female Torchbearers:

In recent times, surgery is experiencing tremendous growth with more and more women entering into the field and embracing patient care for both the patients and the profession as a whole. A recent report on women in surgery has revealed that women surgeons are associated with lower mortality rates and fewer complications. Hence, increasing the number of women in surgery can improve fruitful outcomes. This is also believed that women are by default associated with certain traits such as, communication skills, greater attention to the details, and more patient-centered care which makes them a perfect match for this profession. With these traits, they have completely revolutionized the surgical care, saved countless lives, and significantly carved out longevity and the quality care for patients, which need to be acknowledged.
