Description
Aliya Izumi and co-authors present a 2024 analysis of women in heart surgery around the world. Heart surgery is one of the most gender-imbalanced fields in medicine. Women make up only 6 to 11 percent of the workforce in North America, and figures for other regions have been scarce.
The team checked a global network database of heart surgeons and cross-checked it against other sources. Women form 8.0 percent of the world workforce, 1,178 of 14,651 surgeons. North America and Europe lead, while East Asia and the Middle East rank lowest. Rich countries have about double the share of poor and middle-income ones. The study links the share of women surgeons to national income and gender parity measures.
