On the occasion, Dr. Shireen Mazari said that wards for transgender patients have been set up in PIMS Hospital while provincial hospitals have also been asked to set up separate wards for them.

Managing Director Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal Aun Abbas Bapi said that all deserving citizens of Pakistan are being brought under the ambit of social security on an equal footing in all welfare schemes including education, health, economic rehabilitation and self-reliance.

Transgenders or eunuchs are the most vulnerable community in Pakistan. They have been severely exploited economically. Their own family abandon them and society also don’t own them.
