 Dr. RML Hospital opens India’s first dedicated OPD for Transgenders




👉The Centre-run Dr RML Hospital has inaugurated India’s first dedicated OPD for the transgender community. The inaugural ceremony was led by Dr. (Prof.) Ajay Shukla, Director, RML Hospital.

👉At India’s first dedicated OPD for transgenders, they will be provided with an endocrinology facility with hormone analysis and free hormonal treatment, a psychiatry facility with clinical-psychological assessment, and plastic surgery.
👉Also, dermatology, urology, and paediatrics services and all related blood investigations will be made available at the OPD, he said, adding that it will have gender-neutral/transgender washroom facilities.

Today's Reflection 7 September 2024

Today's Reflection: 7 September 2024 It is said that based on past deeds, one’s current life and behavior (sanskar) are shaped.
