THE Ministry of Health’s statistics on the number of doctors showed that there are 71,000 male and female physicians in the Kingdom, of whom 17,000 are Saudis. The number of female Saudi doctors is 5,500, accounting for 32 percent of the total number of Saudi doctors and 7 percent of the number of doctors in the country.
Though the statistics do not say how many of the female doctors are surgeons, there are only a few in this field. But one thing is sure: female surgeons have proven themselves in this difficult field and won the admiration of the general public and the medical field. These women are able to enter the operation theaters, hold knives and scalpels and operate with confidence.
