New Regulation on Gender Transition Processes in Turkey
The Turkish Ministry of Health has put a new regulation regarding gender transition processes into effect. According to the official statement, the use of hormone therapy and puberty blockers has been banned for individuals under the age of 21.
This new regulation brings about a significant change regarding access to healthcare services. With the decision taken by the Ministry, such medical interventions will no longer be possible for individuals below the specified age limit.
Health experts and relevant institutions are continuing their preparations for the implementation of this decision. The new regulation directly affects the conditions under which individuals in the younger age group can benefit from healthcare services.
This regulation has initiated a new era in health policies and the access of young people to medical processes across Turkey. Detailed information on the subject is expected to be provided through official channels in the coming days.
