The National Health Mission (NHM) and the State Health department are jointly launching an awareness campaign to ensure equity in access to healthcare services for all citizens, regardless of their gender.
The main aim of the campaign, titled ‘Idam’ (a space), is to ensure that public health care service delivery is accessible to all sexual minorities.
As the first step, the district and General Hospitals (GHs) in Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam, Thrissur and Kozhikode district would be declared as transgender-friendly hospitals, Health Minister Veena George said.
