Abstract:

This study aimed to analyze how Brazilian Ministry of Health (MH) is implementing the Sex Reassignment Process (SRP) in public health system (SUS), through research of public domain‘s official documents, systematization of surgery‘s quantitative data and analysing meeting memories of the LGBT Health Technical Committee (CTSLGBT) from MH. We conducted exploratory research combining quantitative and qualitative methods. We adopted as methodological basis the normative evaluation for health programs and systems research proposal. The study resulted in the total data of sex reassignment surgeries performed by SUS (2008-2016), which show nullity of deaths and unequal regional access; and also monitoring the implementation of actions of the National Health Policy for LGBT by a specific committee appointed by MH. Despite considerable progress, challenges remain. Currently, the most threatening is the possibility of retrogression imposed by conservative sectors from executive and legislative. Therefore, the visibility of conquests is a decisive step for the maintenance and enhancement of SRP in SUS.
