FMCG major Procter & Gamble India on Tuesday announced that it will extend all company-offered financial and medical benefits to the partners of its LGBTQ+ employees. From April 1, 2022, partners of LGBTQ+ employees would be covered under the company's medical plan, which includes hospitalisation coverage. Companies widening their support, which includes healthcare, to all types of employees is a big step forward. Those who identify as LGBTQ find it a struggle to access healthcare professionals who understand their specific needs.
