Abstract

Despite the increasing number of women within medical professions, gender equality in career advancement and leadership positions still remains a challenge due to numerous barriers including unbalanced domestic responsibilities, discrimination, and rigidity in career structures. Here, we discuss ways to achieve work-life balance and family planning as well as some of the challenges women face in medicine and nursing careers and outline strategies for individuals and organizations to overcome them.
