Transgender Clinic Programme

Transgender persons are individuals whose gender identity differs from the sex assigned to them at birth. They belong to all age groups, communities, and socio-economic backgrounds across the State. Many individuals experience this identity from an early stage of life, often described as gender dysphoria.

Tamil Nadu has established dedicated multi-specialty clinics to provide equitable, comprehensive, and respectful healthcare services to the transgender community. These clinics function once a week on an outpatient basis and cater to a wide range of healthcare needs.

Services offered includes:

gender-affirmative hormone therapy
sex reassignment procedures
dermatological and urological care
mental health counselling
treatment for common ailments

Due to widespread social stigma and discrimination, transgender individuals often face significant barriers in accessing healthcare services. Addressing these challenges is essential to ensure equitable and inclusive healthcare delivery.
