International Women’s Day: Celebrating Women in Healthcare

Today is International Women’s Day and at RioMed, we’re celebrating women in healthcare. RioMed would like to take this opportunity to say thank you each one for the amazing for the amazing work and dedication you deliver every day.

Women healthcare professionals stood at the forefront of the fight against the pandemic, and we acknowledge and celebrate your collective achievements and contributions.

International Women’s Day is globally celebrated on March 8 every year. On this day, since 1911, women’s social, economic, cultural and political achievements are celebrated and cherished. It is also a movement to fight for gender equality worldwide. We are committed to challenge gender inequality within our organization and in the healthcare industry.

RioMed follows the Equal Opportunity Policy. We, at RioMed, value diversity and value the qualities that different people bring to their jobs, to the resolution of problems and to the development of business opportunities – rather than judging. People’s ideas by the extent to which they conform to our existing values or personal preference.

We recognize our staff, volunteers and those who use our services are from differing cultural, ethnic, racial and gender backgrounds and have different religions or beliefs, nationalities, sexual orientations, gender identities, ages, physical and mental abilities etc.

Emphasizing on our gender equality initiative, RioMed takes action to promote gender equality.

• We continue to work to ensure fair representation of women and men in our staff and service users.
• We ensure that women are fully represented in all parts of the organization at all levels.
• We ensure our policies and procedures address gender issues and where appropriate take positive action. We will ensure that we do not apply any direct or indirect discrimination to our clients or staff based on gender and marriage.
• To tackle unequal, pay between men and women, RioMed ensures that it has a transparent and non-discriminatory pay system.

At RioMed, we will continue doing the necessary work to promote gender equality. We help recruit, retain and advance women in healthcare IT occupations, we believe change must start from within.
