Refugee Nurses Get Language Help
The City of Johannesburg says that refugee nurses at the Rosettenville and Yeoville clinics are being taught to translate.
The City points out that, "These clinics were selected because they service areas that have significant numbers of migrant communities"
It states that the clinic staff welcomed the intervention and indicted that they expected it to make their job easier when assisting migrants, adding that migrants have difficulty accessing public institutions like health care because health care providers often did not speak their language.
The nurses were being trained by the city's health department, the Refugee Nurses' Association, and African Migrants Solidarity.
