VietNamNet Bridge – The Ministry of Health will allow local qualified clinics to perform transsexual surgeries, according to the draft decree on redefining sexuality that has been submitted to the government for consideration.
According to this draft decree, trans-sexuality is based on the principle that each person can live according to his/her true sexuality. Operating doctors must be voluntary, unprejudiced, bear their responsibility to the law and maintain confidentiality.
Before performing transsexual operations, clinics must test to ensure that the interested person truly features the psychology and sexuality of their desired gender or their sexual organs must be in a state of deformity that justifies operating.
