The country has severe shortage of human resource for health and especially the medical doctor profession. In addition female medical doctors are in less percentage as compared to male medical professionals. It is recognized that majority of the few available female medical doctors are experiencing various professional and non-professional challenges in terms of career development, family and society expected roles and responsibilities.
Thus there is need to advance medical profession among young graduates as well as provision of career advancement among the existing female professionals. Minimal efforts have been made by professional associations in mobilising young girls into the medical profession.
