title: [Gender perspective in socio-health care needs].
abstract: Social conditions are the first environment that modulate external factors which impact on health. In turn gender is a decisive factor in these social determinants of health. This paper analyzes gender bias in the health system as a relevant part in social determinants. We can distinguish three types of bias: cognitive, social, and institutional. In the institutional biases, we analyze the risks of gender and costs originated from the coordination between the health system and the system of social protection. Finally, we suggest a series of measures to minimize these biases and risks.
