2021 guideline. Considering recent global developments in gender-affirming healthcare (GAHC), a rapid review of all content relating to persons’ < 18 years is underway, which will be shared soon. The rapid review, once published, must be taken in conjunction with the 2021 guideline. An update of the GAHC guideline for all ages in South Africa is planned for 2026. Additional resources, including the new World Health Organization’s (WHO) technical guidelines for the health of trans and gender-diverse individuals, are also expected in 2026 and will be shared once available.
