Great news! Every small step taken in the right direction will go a long way. Our transgender community has suffered in silence for too long, it feels so good to see the govt taking serious steps to somewhat alleviate their miseries. Way to go👍

Earlier in September, the Lahore High Court had directed the Punjab government to arrange a separate room in OPDs of all public hospitals of the province for the treatment of transgender community members.
The court had issued the order on the petition moved by advocate Ishtiaq Chaudhry, and also sought recommendations from Health Department for the sake of providing best facilities to the transgender.
The petitioner had argued that transgender people were being denied medical facilities at the public hospitals.
He said Supreme Court had already issued an order to reserve a separate ward and room in OPD for transgender people in public hospitals, however, the same had not be complied with so far.
