“This is the first step, we will be organising every Friday OPD exclusively for transgenders, and if we see increasing numbers then days will be increased,” said Dr Shukla.

“They avoid coming to normal OPDs. So, we decided to start a separate OPD service for them,” he added.

Special facilities in India’s first transgender OPD include a special OPD for the transgender community every Friday, provision for separate OPD registration, psych diagnostic assessment, plastic surgery facility, skin disease treatment facilities, urology treatment facilities, paediatric treatment facilities and all other blood-related tests.
