Hospital Juárez de México: En búsqueda de la igualdad de género

The Hospital Juarez of Mexico is an institution committed to the health care of Mexicans while striving to provide equal employment and growth opportunities for both men and women, safeguarding their rights. In 2022, a study was conducted to assess the Juarez community's knowledge, attitude, and behaviour regarding gender perspective and its correlation with health determinants. 421 surveys were conducted in the initial diagnostic stage, revealing that 60% of respondents believe that Hospital Juarez manages equal rights and access to opportunities. Nearly all respondents believe that lesbian women should be treated equally, with 72.8% supporting the freedom of youth to express their sexual orientation. The Hospital Juarez staff embraces diversity in the workplace and among colleagues, as reflected in the survey where most perceive appropriate behaviors in their work environment. Based on these results, a program is planned within Hospital Juarez to enhance the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of its workforce.
