SINGAPORE - The Ministry of Education (MOE) and Institute of Mental Health (IMH) have issued a joint statement on the case of an 18-year-old transgender student who claimed the ministry had intervened in her hormonal treatment.
Decisions about final medical treatment involving the use of hormonal therapy rest with clinicians and their patients, the ministry and the institute said on Thursday (Jan 21).
"Such treatments also require the written consent from parents, where minors are concerned," they added. IMH also clarified that "minors" in this instance refers to those under the age of 21.
