A new study from Harvard University shows that female doctors slightly better than their male colleagues, but get less. Researchers at more than three million medical records. Around half of these (1.5 million) hospitalizations, and the other half were for readmissions (people who to stay in hospital a second time). The percentage of hospital patients who to return to hospital, or who , was lower if the doctor was female. Mortality rates (the number of people who ) were 15.02 per cent and readmission rates 11.07 per cent for female doctors, with 15.57 per cent mortality and 11.49 per cent readmission rates for patients of male doctors.

The researchers did not a reason why women better care to patients than men. However, researcher Dr. Ashish Jha give a figure for the number of lives that could saved in the USA if male doctors as well as female doctors. Dr Jha said: "We that approximately 32,000 fewer patients would die if male physicians could the same [results] as female physicians every year." He also said that it was wrong that men got paid more than women, especially because women were better at their jobs. Dr Jha added: "We to understand why these differences …and figure out how to it to the [wider] population of physicians."
