Cuba's National Assembly of Popular Power has agreed to discuss making sex-reassignment surgery free of cost to all "transexuales" on the island who request it.

The entire public health care system in Cuba is free of charge.

Mariela Castro Espín, director of the National Center of Sexual Education (CENESEX), has led the move to make sex-reassignment available to Cubans free to all who seek it. Mariela Castro, a leader in her own right, is the daughter of renowned revolutionary leader Vilma Espín and acting Cuban President Raúl Castro.
