Bogotá innovates with the first public gender clinic in Colombia. Three months after opening, the clinic has already treated around 200 patients.
The gender clinic was born in a city where at least 4,000 people who identify as trans live. The pilot, a series of specialized offices on the second floor of the Chapinero Hospital, took its first steps in September 2023, and was officially inaugurated in December. It started with seven specialties: endocrinology, psychiatry, two plastic surgeons, psychologists, a nursing assistant and a gynecologist.
