Policies to Encourage Female Physicians to Enter Practice Sample Clauses

Policies to Encourage Female Physicians to Enter Practice. According to Pakistan Medical and Dental College estimates, 70% of the students entering a medical college in Pakistan are female and 23% of them enter practice after graduation. No official data is available online for KP. A predominantly rural population, existing tribal codes and tradition and strong gender-specific cultural barriers for females, the barriers to practice for women in KP are formidable. As a result, a significant number of female physicians in KP do not practice, especially after marriage. Family commitments, in-laws’ pressure and cultural barriers are among the top reasons for this. (Xxxxx Xxxxx, 2020). Currently, there are no policies in KP that encourage non-practicing female physicians to enter practice. Introducing strategies like allocating female doctors to the health facilities nearest their home; providing safe accommodation with amenities; and ensuring friendly working environment, can encourage female physicians to enter practice. This will not only help to improve the problems related to retention of physicians in PHCFs but also improve mother and childcare services provided at these facilities. (Xxxx et al., 2016). In addition, GoKP and DoH can work in collaboration with digital health platforms like DoctHERs that connect female physicians with underserved populations through teleclinics. DoctHERs is a for-profit organization and is already working in different remote areas of KP. DoH through public-private partnership with DoctHERs or similar platform can provide curative services through its PHCFs, particularly the facilities that constantly face the unavailability of physicians. (Xxxx, 2016).
