Hicieron lo que quisieron y defenderon sus derechos “, reivindica.

Meler, of 28 years, considers that, currently, in Medicine “hay is quite equal, but in the high loads is not there”. For this, animate the most young people to follow ahead with their vocation: “Yo les animo, la mayoría somos mujeres, por lo que no van a sentir solas en ese sentido. Antes se vie mal que una mujer studiusase Medicina, ahora ocurre lo contrario “.

More female presence in high loads


“I have to say that there is a greater presence of women in the high loads, which has more responsibility”


“Every year we have more women in our careers, we are already around 60 per cent”, according to the doctor, who notes that from the age of 50, there is a large number of men working in health care: “But it is changing”, subraya. It is possible to explain the crystal technique that has been established in health, but only 20 per cent of the directives are occupied by women. “I have to say that there is a greater presence of women in the high loads, which has more responsibility“, reivindica Meler, que también aboga por” avanzar en la conciliación “.
