Among the main innovations, highlights the implementation of the Primary Care Services for Trans Persons in the three Basque capitals, so that they receive close attention. In Gipuzkoa, for example, this service will be located at the Old Donostiarra Health Centre, where the guide has been presented in the morning.
Another innovation is the progressive decentralization of certain procedures, such as hormonal therapy, some less complex surgical interventions and assisted reproduction, which will make it possible to improve accessibility and optimize the resources of the public health system.
With this initiative, Osakidetza has explained, the Basque Country is taking a "firm step" towards a "more inclusive, equitable and right-based health model that places trans people at the centre of attention and ensures a response tailored to their needs throughout their lives."
