Gender role in health care...

Actually, both in the area of health, and society in general, the differences between the genders, have been declining, largely because women entered the labor area. It is for this reason that when talking about the role of women in health care, it is increasingly common for women to form an important and essential part in different functions which were previously excluded.

In the case of the tasks carried out by women or men midwives in health care, there is no great difference between both, beyond the quantitative difference, ie, that clearly there are more women than men midwives , because is a career in which the main responsibilities are related care of women in the reproductive process, including pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum care in addition to newborns.

I'm not aware if the midwives man have a bigger salary than women, however, I have understood that the man are most requested, the reason, I have not very clear, but some believed the man is more delicate with woman patient, however,in my opinion this is very general and subjective, and relate it more than men to be lower are most requested.

Within the health team, consider that as midwives, both men and women, have a similar and equitable development, unlike other professionals such as doctors, where women and men if they have differences, being the reverse case what happens with midwives, because they have more professional men than women, even though the woman is as capable as men, some medical specialties, such as cardiology, proportion of men and women is very uneven, where the mayority is man.
