Abstract

LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) patients suffer from stigma and discrimination when seeking healthcare. A large LGBT healthcare survey revealed that 56% of gay patients and 70% of transgender patients suffered some type of discrimination while seeking healthcare in 2014. The fostering of LGBT-friendly healthcare services is not just an advanced step of gender mainstreaming but also a fulfillment of health equality and equity. Additionally, LGBT-friendly healthcare services are expected to provide new opportunities for healthcare workers. Therefore, proactive government policies, education, research, and clinical practice should all encourage the development of these healthcare services. We look forward to a well-developed LGBT-friendly healthcare system in Taiwan.

摘要

女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋及跨性别者（LGBT）患者在寻求医疗保健时会遭受污名化和歧视。一项大型LGBT医疗保健调查显示，2014年，56%的男同性恋患者和70%的跨性别患者在寻求医疗保健时遭受了某种形式的歧视。促进对LGBT友善的医疗服务不仅是性别主流化的一个进步举措，也是实现健康平等的体现。此外，对LGBT友善的医疗服务有望为医护人员提供新的机遇。因此，政府积极的政策、教育、研究和临床实践都应鼓励这些医疗服务的发展。我们期待台湾能有一个完善的对LGBT友善的医疗体系。
