Osmania General Hospital inaugurates first state-run transgender clinic
Hyderabad: In a step towards providing healthcare facilities to the third gender in Telangana, an exclusive clinic for transgender persons has been launched at the Osmania Hospital to cater to their needs for improved and equal healthcare facilities.
The facility is the second initiative that the government has taken to open a clinic solely to provide medical services to the third-gender community in the state. The first was opened at MGM Hospital in Warangal.
These services include the identification of gender dysphoria and the issuance of Gender Identity Disorder (GID) certificates. According to a media report in TOI, the clinic is reported to be functional once a week every Wednesday. However, it is believed that the clinic may run for more days in a week depending on the demand of the patients.
The clinic was inaugurated by home minister Mohammed Mahmood Ali at Osmania General Hospital on Wednesday. Earlier the Suprindentant of Osmania General Hospital, Nagender told ANI that a proposal for a transgender clinic in Osmania Hospital was in process.
