“…In analogy to the observations made during scientific conferences, 9 it may create visibility of women and generate political momentum, potentially contributing to gender equity on other levels as well. 29 Gender disparities at all levels in medicine also have profound implications for society, as diversity in leadership positions is needed to reach balanced decisions and produce more representative health science. 19 Gender equity is therefore, besides being a matter of justice and rights for all, decisive for diversifying science to produce more rigorous research 30 and provide the best possible care to patients.…”

“…In the field of health, whether basic or continuous, knowledge is essential for the improvement of health care and the health system. 23,24 In the present study, health personnel exposed to training were estimated at 69.5% among personnel involved in transfusion. This shows that some health personnel transfuse when they have not been trained and this questions the safety of patients who receive the transfusion, the recruitment and management of blood donors and the entire transfusion chain.…”

Blood transfusion is a health care procedure that can expose the donor and receiver to risks. The knowledge and practices of healthcare personnel on blood transfusion are necessary to anticipate and/or prevent the occurrence of avoidable transfusion risks. The aim of this study was to assess the training needs of health personnel on blood donor selection procedure. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study targeting health personnel in health facilities that reported contributing in offering blood transfusion services in the West region of Cameroon between March and May 2022. A questionnaire administered face to face was used to collect data from the targeted health personnel exhaustively included from health facilities. Knowledge and practices were assessed by estimating the rate of correct answers. STATA software was used to analyze the data. Results: Of the 41 health facilities that reported offering blood transfusion services, 35 (85.3%) were covered. Category 5 and 4 health facilities were respectively 23 (65.7%) and 9 (25.7%). Among the 325 health personnel involved in transfusion, 302 (92.9%) were reached among which, 201 (66.6%) were female and 127 (42.1%) were nurses. Two hundred and ten (69.5%) had already received training on blood transfusion and 268 (88.7%) expressed a need for training on blood transfusion of which 139 (51.8%) on blood donors' selection. Sixteen (5.3%) knew how to identify blood donor and 116 (38.4) knew the minimum required tests to be performed on the donors' blood before the transfusion. Six (2.0%) out of 302 health personnel were able to select blood donors and identify minimum tests to be performed on donors' blood. Conclusion: There is a real need for training of health personnel on the blood donor selection process. Health authorities should ensure that all health personnel involved in blood transfusion receive a minimum of training in blood donor selection and testing.

“…Possibly, the predominant disregard arises from the fact that at least 10 participants were male, which is an adequate depiction of the current sex ratio in the field: female medical professionals are still underrepresented as scientists and in senior positions. 25 , 26 Female health care providers and medical students consider sex and gender medicine more important than their male counterparts and they feel less prepared with regard to sex and gender competencies due to a lack of education in these skills and topics. 27–30 …”

Background: A sex- and gender-based approach to medical education is important to develop new knowledge and to improve quality of and equality within health care. Results of a systematic survey showed a lack of sex- and gender-based medical education at German medical faculties. The global severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic is affecting people from diverse backgrounds differently, and the reciprocal interactions between biological sex and sociocultural gender aspects with regard to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) necessitate an intersectional research approach and transfer to medical education. Methods: This descriptive-phenomenological qualitative online survey focused on the sex and gender knowledge of faculty staff and the status of implementation in medical education and research at departments of virology and immunology at German university hospitals. It comprised 16 questions generated by an expert consortium based on published research data. In the fall of 2021, 36 leading virologists were invited to participate anonymously in this survey. Results: The response rate was 44%. Most experts deemed sex and gender knowledge as not that important or not important. Almost half the lecturers supported a sex- and gender-based research design and sex-disaggregated analysis of animal study data. Biological sex differences and gender aspects regarding SARS-CoV-2 were at least occasionally addressed upon a student's request. Conclusion: Virologists attributed only minor importance to sex and gender knowledge, despite scientific evidence of sex and gender differences in the field of virology, immunology, and COVID-19 in particular. This knowledge is not systematically implemented in the curriculum, but rather only occasionally passed on to medical students.
