Like those in any other profession, Filipino women doctors fought hard for
recognition. They had to hurdle an almost endless string of obstacles to earn
their worth. But sans doubt, Filipino women doctors have carved their niche and
raised themselves at a level of professional competence on a par not only with
their male counterparts here but with anybody else in the world.
This December, MEDICAL OBSERVER
chronicles their struggles in a special YEAR ENDER edition that pays tribute to
the gallant and outstanding women doctors in the Philippines. Join us as we tell
their individual and collective stories in a fitting close to the year 2002.
They are The Women of Philippine Medicine.
