　　它援引一位不愿透露姓名的消息人士稱，官員們采取了“無聲的諒解”來減少女性入學(xué)者的數(shù)量，原因是擔(dān)心女性畢業(yè)生畢業(yè)后不留在醫(yī)藥崗位。

　　"Many female students who graduate end up leaving the actual medical practice to give birth and raise children，" the source told the newspaper.

　　“許多畢業(yè)的女學(xué)生為了生育和撫養(yǎng)孩子最終離開醫(yī)療行業(yè)，”該消息人士告訴該報。
