“Leave no one behind” is an important idea in the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals and Universal Health Coverage. It tells governments to make
sure even the most marginalised people get proper healthcare. But transgender
people still face many problems when trying to access affordable and good-quality
medical care.
Tamil Nadu has become one of the leading states in fixing these inequalities.
It has introduced inclusive health policies and welfare schemes that understand
how health, dignity, and social rights are all connected for transgender people.
