Publication Status of Healthcare in LGBTQI+ Community in Nepal: Challenges and Possibilities(Nepal Medical Association, 2023) Subedi, Pratik; Jha, AnjaliAbstract Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex are at increased risk of getting infected with sexually transmitted infections, suicidal behaviours, and substance and physical abuse. Stigmatization and discriminatory attitudes toward the community have led to disparities while receiving healthcare. In this article, we discuss the condition of healthcare in sexual minorities in Nepal, the major barriers to accessing healthcare facilities, the roles played by nongovernmental organizations, and the possible ways to improve healthcare in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex community.
