Dr. Nguyen Huy Quang said that we absolutely can perform gender reassignment surgery, the basic problem is the law of Vietnam has allowed the health sector and the health facilities performing or not only.

On 24/11, the National Assembly formally adopted the transsexual in Vietnam, here is good news for those who are intending to transsexuals in all parts of the country. However, in one sense, the problem still has to continue to improve, including the field of gender reassignment surgery.


To clarify this issue, the afternoon of 25/11, the reporter had an interview with Dr. Nguyen Huy Quang - Legal Department (Ministry of Health) in the process as well as the conditions to be able to perform transgender surgery.

Accordingly, the Director of Legal Affairs said that the redefinition of gender was the Civil Code of 2005 stipulates very clearly, that is people with birth defects, or whose sex has not been fixed exactly will be determined by the world medical intervention.

"I take for example children born with no genitals or genital deficiency, or the cases were male but with the women's division will be medical intervention to redefine sex. This was stipulated in the 2005 Civil Law ", Dr. Quang said.

Dr. Quang, the Civil Code (Amendment) has been through the last Parliament, which allows the perfect thing about sex, but in thought, behavior opposite shape allowed transgender, is intended to help those who are true to their gender and affirm human rights.

"First, we have to admit people in need, the desire to be transgender and true to their gender. And it is also present human rights are enshrined, "Dr Quang said.

Answering the question about whether the medical facility Vietnam has achieved the transformation of gender; and the difficulties and problems of people who are transgender how Dr. Nguyen Huy Quang affirmed medically and technical Vietnam can be done.

"We could have surgery from male to female or from female to male. Also, we may be treated by female growth hormone and growth hormone for men. The basic problem is the law of Vietnam has allowed the health sector and the health facilities performing or not only, if allowed the medical facility Vietnam totally doable, "Dr. Quang said.

However, Mr Quang also frankly said, to achieve the transformation of gender, there should be separate legislation, including transgender law. Dr. Quang hope in the next term of Parliament could be adopted.

"I think when there is sufficient legal basis to perform gender reassignment surgery, it also needs to have the order before transsexual. For example, for those who want a male-to-female transsexual, you need to try and live life as a woman, for example: dress, lipstick rouge, housework, women play good.


However, when women want male sex change, there has to be cohabiting and living as men like to participate in sports activities, working hard, limbs within 1-2 years, thereby let them decide whether transgender or not. Meanwhile new medical intervention, and this intervention is to ensure adequate place both in service, quality and a team of highly qualified doctor ... Once done, the health sector will level 1 certificate get transgender surgery, so that makes the legal procedures as well as other activities are most favorable to them, "Dr Quang said.
