Medical Barriers in Healthcare
Language barriers in healthcare lead to miscommunication between the medical professional and patient, decrease the quality of healthcare delivery, and adversely impact the relationship between the physician and patient.
Language barriers arise when the patient and provider do not share a native language. These patients who do not speak the local language are disadvantaged in terms of access to healthcare services, potentially leading to unequal treatment and unequal health outcomes.
