All across Canada, minority language communities face language barriers in the health care system, which can impact access to care, quality of care and thus entail safety issues for patients.
Société Santé en français (SSF) and the French Language Health Networks have a number of resources to support health care organizations and professionals to better understand the Francophone and/or Acadian population in their area, learn how to address linguistic health, social services and/or community service issues, and implement proven solutions.
The SSF has gathered evidence-based learning tools into a single easy-to-navigate platform called eQUITY Link.
