CGHS Extends Healthcare to Transgender Dependents

CGHS Extends Healthcare to Transgender Dependents

The government is now making sure transgender children and siblings of government employees can get medical care.

This is like giving them the same health benefits as other family members, no matter their age, as long as they depend on the employee for financial support.

They also need a special paper from the District Magistrate.

This change follows a law from 2019 and aims to include everyone in healthcare, ensuring transgender people can access the medical help they need.
