Thanks to Beed constable Lalit Salve, the St George hospital is taking a huge step towards being more inclusive. In a few months, the government-run hospital will have a first-of-its-kind intersex ward, for patients who want to undergo sex change and genital reconstruction surgeries. In addition to this, it will also soon inaugurate India's first Out Patient Department (OPD), exclusively for reconstructive surgery, which will be operational on Tuesdays, under plastic surgeon Dr Rajat Kapoor, who operated on Salve.

The hospital's experience with Salve is the driving force behind the change. When Salve was first brought to the hospital, they did not know which ward to put him in because of the confusion about his gender. He was then kept in a VIP suite at the hospital's nursing home.
