This Friday, in the proposal of the director of the director, director of the director of Monky Garcia, approved this Friday at the proposal of the department, and with the support of autonomous communities creates the first center specializing in the health of trans -people and people with a variety of sexual development.
This is what is called the center, maintenance or reference unit of the National Health System (CSUR) to solve certain procedures, pathologies or situations that, due to their complexity, require a specialized answer. The Ministry is recognized in the text sent to the regional governments: “The need to give a comprehensive, expert and respectful response to gender diversity.”
From this moment, the Ministry of Health may offer hospitals who want them to be accredited as CSUR. To do this, they must comply with a number of principles, such as “nonpathologization” and “respect for free gender self -determination”. “We have identified very clear technical criteria, so the centers that can be designated as referents avoid any approach that is returning to drug and pathologization to something, which is not,” explained the Minister of Health Monica Garcia, to the press conference after the distribution council.
Teams should be specially trained in a “comprehensive approach from the point of view of rights” and coordination with psychosocial and public resources, the Ministry. The selected center should also have a minimum volume of activity and technological potential.
Some autonomous communities already have specialized units. The future center, according to the proposal about health, will be intended for the “priority of the implementation of surgical interventions if they cannot be performed in the autonomous community of the user’s origin,” since there are certain complications or needs that require more specialization.
Thus, the idea is not intended for ordinary consultations, although “in cases where it is necessary, for CSUR, it can also evaluate, attend requests and control the trans -people that meet the output criteria and require help in the transition process, in addition to surgical treatment,” adds text sent to consultants.
A recent survey conducted by the Carlos III Institute of Health showed that four out of ten people were considered that their health specialists did not know how to visit the group. In 10% of cases, they were faced with staff, who said that being a trance or not binary is a disease. In addition, almost every tenth trance and non -boarding people do not begin hormonal replaced treatment from fear from rejection or sanitary barriers.
In this report, in the first increased health care of trance -institutes of trance -people, something very studied is also confirmed: which have more problems with mental health than the population as a whole. The diagnosis of depression is 11 times more often and anxiety, 16 times more often.
Financing for more medical squares
Another important point was also discussed at the meeting: the transfer of almost 27 million euros by the Ministry of Health to the communities to finance new medical positions at faculties and maintain others that already exist.
This direct subsidy, approved through the Royal Decree for the first time in 2023, serves to cover 1783 places: 922 is the first year, 642 of the second year and 219 of the third in the school year 2025-2026. According to the ministry in a press release. They were added to 706, which were funded in 2023, and 1548, which did this in 2024. However, the minister requested the community that “not only the Spanish government, which takes care of expanding the space,” he said at the beginning of the meeting.
Plan of advanced therapy
The plenary meeting of the Internet council also gave a green light to update the advanced therapy plan, which was approved in 2018. Then he acted in the public system to enter the Car-T therapy, revolutionary immunotherapy against cancer, which consists in taking them to the body, teaching them so that they recognize and attack the goals and return them to the body. More than 2000 patients underwent treatment from then until October 2024.
Now it expands its capabilities for the inclusion of genes, cellular and tissue therapy, both industrial and developed in the hospitals themselves. The new plan specifically regulates the use of developed methods of treatment outside the industry, at a much lower price. The “regulated use of liberation from the hospital” is formulated in this document, a European mechanism that allows you to allow the clinical use of these drugs that are born in a hospital environment. “This route of adaptive access allows the SNS centers to apply innovative treatment methods, generating clinical and scientific data that introduce to their possible resolution for marketing,” says Hes, Healing says.
