What: The new clinics are both located in the Tel-Aviv district and support LGBT people throughout all stages of life; adolescent to geriatric. Services include: sexual health counselling, tests and counselling for carriers of sexually transmitted diseases, gender reassignment services, preparing for the gender adjustment committee, adjusting the facial structure, voice and hormonal treatments, and fertility treatments.
Why: The aim is to meet the unique health needs of LGBT people and enhance patient-centred care by providing a sensitive, respectful, and safe medical and therapeutic environment.
How: One clinic is directed by an infectious disease physician who specializes in LGBT medicine. The other clinic will be directed by an infectious disease physician and a coordinating nurse. The coordinating nurse will connect patients with the services they need, identify unique treatment needs and provide education for medical teams.
