Tóm tắt :

Background: Little is known about gender disparity in the surgery specialty in Lebanon. Aims: To assess the status of female surgeons and possible gender gaps in surgery specialty in Lebanon. Methods: The study was conducted in May 2021. Data were retrieved from the Lebanese Order of Physicians website, indicating the number of physicians in the different specialties, their gender, hospitals, and locations. The c2 test of homogeneity was used to establish whether the gender distribution was equal. Results: Women only accounted for 21.84% (3,370) of physicians in Lebanon, with surgery having the lowest number of female physicians in (n = 65; 2.30%). Women accounted for 1.63% of all surgeons in Lebanese hospitals, there were more female plastic and reconstructive surgeons (n = 12; 7.14%), while neurosurgery, oncological surgery and vascular surgery had no females. There was no significant difference in gender between academic and non-academic institutions (χ2 = 2.164, P = 0.149), or between public and private hospitals (χ2 = 1.277, P = 0.234). Conclusion: The surgical specialty had the widest gender gap among all the medical fields in Lebanon. Therefore, the healthcare systems, including public and private hospitals, have a long and difficult road in narrowing the gender gap. Different strategies to incorporate women into surgery should be explored to assure equitable opportunities for all physicians, based on competency rather than gender.
