Purpose
This project aims to strengthen the protection and promotion of the right to health of LGBTI+ persons and improve access to quality comprehensive health services in Latin America and the Caribbean, with a specific focus in Colombia and Panama. It will cover four areas: 1) research to gather evidence on the specific health needs of LGBTI+ individuals; 2) the representation of LGBTI+ individuals and organizations in the health sector; 3) the availability and quality of health services and resources for these individuals; 4) the capacity of civil society organizations to advocate for LGBTI+ rights. PAHO will provide technical cooperation to Colombia and Panama to strengthen the protection and promotion of the right to health of LGBT+ people and improve access to quality comprehensive rights-based people-centered health services at national and subnational levels. Additional countries and regional entities will also be supported through learning exchanges and actions that strengthen health and rights promotion efforts.
