Both in the area of health as in other areas of life itself, there are differences between the roles of men and women, and sometimes these differences in roles is so large and unjustified as they become discrimination.

In the health area is well marked differences such as that the vast majority of people in the profession of matron / midwifery are women, and is same society that has relegated women to the care of pregnant women and babies in all areas of life, change in the medical practices there are more men than women however this trend is not so marked as in the previous case, we can also see differences in salaries by gender, for example the woman who is a doctor earns less than the man who is a doctor and this does not occur only in the area of health but also in the total Chilean labour worldwide.

Other differences that exist is the administrative area hospitals, I think women have a harder climb in charge than men because they have us put more demands, I also feel there is centralization of sex according area of the hospital for I could see in the area of maternal and neonatal there are more women, whereas in areas of the Physical therapy and surgery related to trauma are more men.
