Providing Health Care in the Context of Language Barriers - International Perspectives

Global migration continues to increase, and with it linguistic diversity. This presents obvious challenges for both healthcare provider and patient, and the chapters in this volume represent international perspectives on language barriers in health care. Solutions and approaches, as well as the importance of local context, are discussed.
