Social roles are assigned to the genera specifying rigid boundaries of behavior and social control. The notion of the female predisposition to physical and emotional disorders has prompted speculation within academic strands culminating in the creation of specialized medical illness that would prevent the female, the male permeated by notions of endurance and strength has become synonymous of a healthy body, confirming the male domination and the economic and political role of men. Studies indicate that gender relations influence negatively on health care. This research concerned to study and investigate through semi-structured interviews and content analysis, conceptions of gender and its relationship to health care in reports of 11 health professionals. The results obtained indicate that for the interviewed subjects that the regarded characteristics of gender are determined by biological and social factors and will influence the way men and women deal with their health and disease. According to the results there is a significant difference in interaction with men and women being the professional interactions with the female audience perceived as more satisfactory.
