Castro started her San Francisco visit Tuesday attending meetings on transgender health care at the University of California, San Francisco. She is scheduled to participate in an educational forum on the same topic at San Francisco General Hospital on Wednesday. Later, the San Francisco LGBT Center is planning to host Castro for a discussion on Cuba's gay rights policies.
