00:00Picture this. Women make up almost 90% of med school grads in Pakistan, but only a handful become GI specialists.

00:07Why? Despite the sea of women in medical schools, less than 10% of gastroenterologists in Pakistan are female.

00:15The reasons run deep. Grueling training hours clash with family expectations, and many are pressured into doctor-bride roles,

00:22leaving medicine for marriage or domestic duties.

00:25Then there's the lack of female mentors, making it tough for women to picture themselves leading in this specialty.

00:31Workplace bias, lower pay, and even harassment add more hurdles.

00:36One senior GI doctor in Karachi faced blackmail just for being a woman, and that's not an isolated story.

00:42Meanwhile, the country desperately needs more GI specialists, especially women,

00:47since many female patients prefer a woman doctor for intimate procedures.

00:50It's time for change, flexible training, strong mentorship, and zero tolerance for bias.

00:58Because when women are missing from medicine, everyone loses out, patients, doctors, and the future of healthcare itself.
