Gender identity clinic
A gender identity clinic is a type of specialist clinic providing services relating to transgender health care.
Since 2007, the University Hospital of Ghent has had a specialized department, the Center for Sexology and Gender Problems, that focuses on the care needs of adolescents and administers puberty blockers in accordance with international guidelines. Because the gender clinic at the University Hospital of Ghent was difficult to access for Walloon and Brussels care recipients due to insufficient capacity, the distance and the language barrier, the need was felt to open a gender clinic for transgender minors in Wallonia as well. CHU Liège opened this on 1 October 2019.
If an adolescent experiences gender dysphoria, they are treated at one of the university hospitals. A decision on whether puberty blockers should be administered to the adolescent after a diagnosis is made on an individual basis. If so, the adolescent is treated at Tampere University Hospital or Helsinki University Hospital.
