Your article brings the most welcome news (The number of doctors exceeds male peers in the United Kingdom for the first time, February 6). It also states that the change takes forever.
In 1985, Me and Agrey Burke published a study showing that secret classes were present in all medical colleges in London That has limited the number of women and ethnic minorities who allowed to be accepted to study medicine.
A year later, we discovered that at the College of Saint George Hospital, these shares were achieved using the “discriminatory” computer program to limit these students unnoticly to limit the arrival of these students.
This discovery was investigated by the Racial Equality Committee in 1988 and discriminatory practices were exposed, and they immediately stopped throughout the United Kingdom.
I write to indicate that the change to reach the equality of employees took 40 years, equivalent to a generation. If only society can move faster.
