On the start of Sewa Pakhwada, Dr. RML Hospital inaugurated India’s first dedicated OPD for Transgenders today. The inaugural ceremony was led by Dr. (Prof.) Ajay Shukla, Director, RML Hospital.

The initiative is started with an understanding of the difficulties encountered by the transgender community to access healthcare services, largely due to discomfort and the fear of discrimination and social apathy. At India’s first dedicated OPD for transgenders, they will be provided with the following facilities in the speciality OPD clinic:

  • Free Treatment, investigations and sex change surgery.
  • Speciality OPD clinic for transgenders will be every Friday 2 to 4 p.m.
  • Separate OPD registration counter for these clinics to facilitate smooth process.
  • Endocrinology facility with Clinico-psychological assessment.
