This initiative by the hospital aligns with the Law on the rights of LGBTI people, which came into force last January. The guide seeks to establish unified criteria to ensure that trans individuals receive safe, inclusive, and discrimination-free healthcare.
The creation of this document stems from the hospital's identified need to strengthen the sensitivity and knowledge of healthcare professionals, as well as to implement shared protocols. Key aspects addressed in the guide include the correct use of a person's chosen name, the management of hospitalizations, and the guarantee of confidentiality.
“"We are normalizing, and with this guide, care will be much better."
The document places special emphasis on the importance of inclusive care and the availability of a clear protocol to prevent discriminatory situations. The ultimate goal is for every trans person to feel supported throughout the entire care process, from their arrival to their departure from the hospital.
