Women’s History Month is upon us, and it is a perfect time to celebrate the remarkable contribution women have made to the world. Among the many fields where women have made groundbreaking contributions, medicine stands as a testament to their resilience, brilliance, and dedication to saving lives. Despite facing discrimination and societal barriers, pioneering women in medicine have paved the way for future generations.
Historically, women were often denied access to medical education and professional opportunities. However, through perseverance and unwavering commitment, many defied these obstacles, setting new standards in healthcare.
