A significant event, the IV Jornada de Pediatría de Atención Primaria del CST, highlighted the importance of incorporating women’s health and gender perspectives into pediatric primary care on August 13, 2025. This initiative aims to provide pediatricians with the necessary education and tools to address the nuanced health needs of female patients from a young age.
The jornada (conference) underscored a growing recognition in the medical community regarding the necessity of tailored approaches that consider gender-specific health issues in pediatric care. This movement aligns with broader health objectives to improve overall health outcomes for girls and women by initiating discussions early in life about relevant health concerns.
As the conversation around gender health in pediatrics evolves, it is essential for pediatricians to stay informed and educated.

This is part of a broader trend to integrate comprehensive health education that emphasizes the relationship between gender and health outcomes in various specialties.
