It's International Women’s Day!

🔊 This year’s theme, “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls,” reminds us that while progress has been made, women and girls still face barriers to equality - including in healthcare, where disparities in career progression persist.

To mark the occasion, we spoke with three inspiring doctors about the women who have influenced, mentored, and supported them throughout their careers in anaesthesia. 💪
